…and I am not quite sure what’s wrong. Worked fine last night. This morning I booted up and  it just showed a small icon with a blinking question mark on it. I rebotted using a Tech Support CD I had and ran a doagnostic. Everything was fine EXCEPT the hard drive. It wasn’t able to repair it, and it did detect errors on it.

 Now, when I reboot, it just sits at the blank white screen with the apple logo on it. It actually looks sorta pretty like that, perhaps I can hang it on the wall as artwork?

 If any Mac gurus out there have any ideas…pls let me know! I am afraid I might have to reinstall OSX…which means I need to find my OSX DVD…which I think is in my storage shed. Problem is, someone broke into my car a few months ago and stole stuff…along with the key to the big ass lock on my storage shed! I haven’t gotten around to busting through the lock yet!

So this minor problem is turning into a multi-layered-big-ass problem. And at that, there is a chance my OSX DVD isn’t even in the shed. And even if it is, a chance that it won’t even solve my problem!

 Lessons learned:

(1) backup everything that really matters to you…often

(2) keep track of stuff and keep organized or the stuff will rule your life

(3) don’t put off the small stuff because it will turn into big stuff later on!
