oh god! I am so so sorry!! That's terrible news!

Any hope the apple store can help?

I'm probably taking it to the Genius Bar tomorrow.

I really hope they can fix it and that it wont cost you an arm and a leg.

Ugh. Sorry to hear that man. It's no fun when the workhorse machines act up.

I'm not certain what I have installed on our G5 tower but its not doing much right now, I'm sure you can borrow it for your deadline until you figure out the issue with your current or we can take a look at it while you are using ours.

Also we can swap around some hardware from ours to yours to troubleshoot the issue, if it isn't turning on at all we can swap memory and see if that is it or you can plug your hard drive in our tower to see if it possibly a hard drive issue.

Ouch!

I have no good connections but I live in a state with excellent sales tax laws and have a place you are welcome to stay, if you wish.

Oh god, that's terrible! And now of all times. My biggest fear right now, in these days on unemployment, is that my computer will freeze. Nothing would send me back to work faster than $3000 of computer needing to be purchased.

Yeah and that's about how much I will have to spend too.
