Getting a new one isnt the problem. Just that I wish I was done working right now after 3 12 hour days in a row.

Im just lazy, give the mouse a wiggle and im surfing the web.

YES! VICTORY!
After hooking up the imac to the g5 tower w/ a firewire, I'm able to do a repair disc. After several times, the repair disc in the disc utility is actually doing something different.
We've got a progress bar -- over.
Might be fixing it -- Rodger that.

"Repair attempt on 1 volume"
HSF volume repaired"The volume Macintouch HD appears to be OK"
Need to verify disc permissions but the button arent clickable. ARG.

I like how the language says "appears to be OK"
Appears? It can't say "Yup, it's fixed."
"Appears" is such a nebulous word.

Broadcasting live from my VIAO laptop. We still have a beachball on my OS when restarting. It seems to be not cooperating. We're waiting for word from the Governor about a pardon. But, if word does not come soon, we'll have to go ahead and fry the motherfucker.
Smoke a big one mac lovers :)-
