[G4] trying to extract data

[rich northouse]

Valerie,

Since you are blowing up so many hardware units, you might want to 
consider investing in some sort of power regulator -- not just a surge 
protector -- but something that will regulate the incoming voltage to 
the computer.  Some unit that has a battery in it for power regulation, 
or an auto transformer.  Also the hardware might be failing from over 
heating?  You might want to examine the ventilation of the computer.  
Maybe something is being set on top, or beside it, that prevents the 
computer from getting proper air flow.

By the, I wouldn't rock the boat with Apple. If they have agreed to 
send you a new G5, I wouldn't want to renegogiate anything!  They might 
change their mind! I agree that sure was a nice gesture on Apple's 
part.


Maybe the easiest way to fix your disk problem, is to to retype, or 
reacquire, your daughter's homework.

Good luck.
