The colorful water ball of death
Leopard arrived. I took a 5er license to allow upgrading my MacBook and Kristin’s MiniMac.
MacBook went ok. Very slick. However, the MiniMac (one of the PowerPC ones) was not so lucky. Upgrade worked well, machine rebooted. Login screen appears. And a few seconds later the cursor turns in the cheery, colorful ‘rotating water ball’ that all Mac users know. And stays there.
I let the Mini run through the night, in case it is jut doing some indexing or disk reorganizing or whatever it is that Macs do when you are not looking. No luck.
Anyone heard of that? I don’t want to do a fresh install; there is some data on that box that Kristin would be very upset to lose.
