My mac laptop appears to have just fried itself. I installed the latest security patch last night, and then today, after about two minutes of running, the screen went crazy. I rebooted, and have yet to get anything but a blank screen since then.
update: I called apple tech support, and it turns out that even though my warranty just expired (mental note: ALWAYS buy the extended warranty), I qualify for a logic board replacement, free of charge! The bad news is that it will take 15-20 days after I ship it to them. They’re sending me a box now, so I probably won’t get my ibook back until after Christmas. Oh well - if they can fix it, it’s worth it.
The frustrating part is that I was going to sit down and make a new set of backups today, when the computer crashed, so if they have to format the drive, I’ll lose a month of emails and stuff.
I'm a 30-year-old 
if you’re not picky I could email you eight hundred times with some files off my computer attached. that would be like a free month’s worth of emails and stuff.
you know, if the other thing doesn’t work out.

Hey, Man, next time you’re in Anaheim, you’ve got to give me a ring! (Unless you’re planning to go to Disneyland).
I live, like, 45 minutes from there.
Also let me know if you have Mac probs. I live with a Mac nerd, he used to work for an Apple reseller in PDX.
My 17″ flatscreen just decided to have a problem -1 week after my 3-year warrenty ended. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to get a new toy!
