*bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* is the sound of my head hitting my desk

Okay.

So, after realizing about eight different ways that trying to get a backup at work was going to suck, I took Apple-store-genius friend J's advice and hauled the eMac down to Southdale so they could help me. From St. Paul, during rush hour, in a car with no AC. That was fun. And then I hauled it from the parking lot to the store, giving myself handsome bruises on my hipbones in the process. And then, after waiting an hour or so and seeing about a quarter inch of status bar and nothing that struck my fancy up in the "Trendz" section of the mall, I decided to go home. S4 brought it home after work was done. Yay. And then I hauled it up to work today, and I plugged it in.

I highly appreciate everyone's time and effort and everything. I really, really do.

...but it's still doing the *exact* *same* *shit* it was doing before it was wiped.

People who tell me macs are oh-so easy and maintenance-free compared to PC's can line up and kiss my bony little white butt.

well, i never say macs are perfect and don't have problems. but in general, they have less problems. still that's not much consolationn for the people who happen to be the ones to get the ones with problems.

good luck.
