Yea!
I have my computer back!
Next comes adding another couple gigs of RAM when I see my father next. Also, upgrading to Snow Leopard, since I'm currently running 10.4.11. Snow Leopard is 10.6.x. I'd have had them add the RAM and do the upgrade while they had it, except that they quoted me $40 minimum just for the RAM addition. And that was only for 1G. Plus, my father still has installs left on his license for Snow Leopard. So, yeah... saving at least $150-$300 on upgrades? Priceless.
