10.4.11 KILLED my mac What have I done/[G4]

[Umar Stone]

 Yeah I agree with you all, it probably is deader than disco, or having heart attacks like some of us want to happen while listening to drunken friends singing karaoke, I have to take it to a professional and get a new tower my main problem now is can I transfer all my Hardware installed into this dead machine (there was allot in it).

I will have to rebuy all the software that I had bought over net,etc. (my iDisk could only fit my pic's, music, and movies) I had backed up only onto the second drive so both of them going is a tragedy.

My nearest mac specialist is $120 AU. per half hour I'd have to make sure he didn't retry thing's I know don't work cause it'll cost allot and drive him mad as well. But I have to wait it's a long weekend here

I just mustn't touch the mac or I'll spend another day in front of it begging for mercy!!!!!!!!!!.
