Dead computer...

So some electricians were working on the apartment today. Threw a fuse and moments later my computer refuses to boot up. Sounds and looks like a bad hard drive.

Ugh...

Anyway, I suppose I am now in the market for a new computer. I had been eyeing a new 24" iMac. Not sure that is in my immediate budget, though.

Damnit.

Looks like my backups made it through, though, so no real serious loss of data.

Anyone with leads on a new computer, now is the time to speak up.
