Then I notice an odd noise coming from the hard drive. Quick check of the syslog, lots of weird hard drive messages in there. I decide to restart it. Gray screen, then a blinking folder icon. Damn. Is it worth bringing it into an Apple store, or just calling tech support directly? Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
