Tip: Diagnostics available without Leopard DVD - BigGuynRusty - 08-25-2008
Info.:
"With newer Mac models, the Leopard DVD is no longer needed to run the Apple Hardware Test for diagnosing hardware problems. Users can simply boot the computers startup while holding the "D" key down to boot into diagnostic mode -- the utilities are stored somewhere on the hard drive."

A Meteor smashed your Mac.
Your hands are severed off.
Your Keyboard is on fire.
You have no power.
A simple "Thanks" would suffice!
