Technical difficulties

Danger has struck at the heart of TGC, folks. My loyal and hardworking iMac was fried this morning (despite the best efforts of his friend the surge protector) during an unexpected lightning storm. I'm trying to get lil' Mac the best care possible in this, his time of need, but until I get a final verdict and get it back or face the reality of having to purchase a new machine, my posting will be sporadic at best. My fingers are crossed!
