A tribe buddy came over last night and I cooked him a wonderful salmon dinner and he tried valiently to install Tiger on my hard drive, but I suspect I have a bad drive: the install didn't take and was aborted three times, and on the third attempt, the computer crashed with a kernel panic!

We couldn't even get the monitor to work...although I knew that the computer was rebooting fine.
There's something like two other OS's currently installed and I think we need to uninstall them first, is my guess. I asked him about that, but he said it didn't matter, since there was a partition...

Anyhow, I am now taking the thing in to be serviced. Lost another arm wrestle with the tin god.
