Last night I put my new quad-core G5 to sleep. This morning it didn’t wake up. The fans spun, the drive spun up, but nothing else. Power-cycling didn’t help. I don’t even get the infamous power-up chime noise, and it never gets to any of the boot screens, so it’s not only merely dead, it’s really most sincerely dead.

I’ll probably go into the office and swap the drive into another G5 PowerMac so I can back up the data, and then it’s time to exercise my AppleCare policy.

Drat.
