My beloved Mac died on me. I noticed it had started running a little slow, and I was worried I hadn't done a virus check in a long time. So I ran McAfee virus check. I went away to do some lab work, and when I returned, I saw a frozen screen, with a very nasty "click-click" sound seemingly coming from my hard drive. I quickly pushed the on/off button to get the computer to shut down, and after that, I could never start up again. Boo hoo..
I made the switch after years of Windows use. I fondly remember waiting for Windows 95 to come out, and I bought a copy (rather asked my dad to buy a copy) a few days after it came out. Back then I had to install Windows using 12 (or thirteen?) floppy disks! But the recent years and plagues of viruses really got to me, just as Yong has been complaining about. Actually Linux is not a bad idea, but for the less techy savvy, maybe a Mac has a lower learning curve.
Anyways, I haven't had a chance to take my Mac in for some diagnostics to get more info, and then also make a decision about replacing parts or buying new..
