Logic Board Blues

My PowerMac has been in the shop for almost two weeks. I knew I was in trouble before I took it in: it has had intermitent freezing problems since it was apparently hit by a surge this spring. It acted just like a car and refused to produce the problem when the Apple Store was trying to diagnose what was wrong. After four or five days, they gave up on diagnosing it and just ordered a new logic board.

For whatever reason, the logic board didn't arrive until today, despite being sent DHL. They installed the new logic board and — good news! — now the problem isn't intermitent, it happens every single time it is turned on! So, they said they are now testing everything inside the system to see if it could somehow be adversely impacting the new logic board. They also have another logic board on order, but that'll probably be another day or two.

I miss my G5. I hope the next logic board works better than this one did.
