And I meant command r restart. When I just did it I am getting a completely different screen from what I saw last night. It is walking me through restoring from a back up, just like what I expect from a Mac. Fingers crossed.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Good luck! That does sound very similar to my experience so I hope it works out, since I managed to muddle through (I can tell because i have Yosemite running now, so something must have worked)

Restore is down, I am back up and running 10.7.5. I just ran a verify disk on the HD and now it shows no issues, so I guess I can try again.

Just FYI: I got a HP Stream this Xmas, through the extreme generosity of a person (not a Bufffista or relative), because both my old laptops died, and I couldn't work.
I recommend it highly. (I got the pink one, and it makes me happy every time I look at it.) It's about $199 and has Office 365, and works like a dream. Lots of memory in the hard drive and 1 TB of cloud memory, and the keyboard for such a small laptop is stellar.
I adore it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Anyone need a 10.6.8 (Snow Lion) disk? I have a spare. Family didn't communicate well...
Due to a strange occurrence, yes. Do you actually have one still, sarameg? I realize your post was weeks ago.
Nephlet is now 18 and got his old computer back. But we age-restricted that thing like crazy and no one knows the password.
