All is well that ends in pizza.

What Kevin said, The drive may be fine, the controller might just be trying to access it a lot.

If it is the HDD maybe trying to boot up with an OSX CD/dvd might work.

Insert cd/dvd, turn it off, turn it on, hold down the letter C, see if it tries to boot.

The genius bar you mentioned in Bitches might be a good way to go.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

We had one of those! My brother and I used it to carry our James Blish books of adaptations of Star Trek episodes.

tommyrot, my brother in geekwadiness.

I still have my James Blish Star Trek books.

The status is NOT quo.

Thanks, guys. It's not the hard drive, I don't think. Sean and I determined last night that it's probably the optical drive or some such. I can't find the os CD (ND has it stashed somewhere in his office. Anyone who has seen ND's office understands.), and since there is now a music CD in the drive that doesn't want to come out, we're doubly screwed. (Yes, I put it in there to see if distracting the drive with a shiny CD would help. What.) So I have a genius bar appointment for 2 today. Thankfully I took today off for Byron's surgery anyway.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I had the Star Trek books, and I hardly even watched Star Trek. But I still read the books! And I have them still!

I actually read the books before I started watching the show.

I was greatly surprised when things I remembered from the books didn't happen in the episode.

I also had the books and was also surprised.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
