So, last night, spur of the moment, I decided to attempt to fix an eMac that has gone through hell. It was hit by a power surge, dropped from about four feet, and has been sitting in a corner ever since. After about 3 hours of command line trickery and Apple's support pages, and a fresh OS install, I got it working. Just as a little background, I'm a highschool student who is hoping to get into IT as I get older (or something along those lines), and so, I wanted to try something new with this computer. Any suggestions?
