[DogParkList] Missing OS X already...

[Craig Gaevert]

Very likely the hard drive is recoverable.  It is probably only the 
motherboard that got fried (WAG).  You can get a USB enclosure that you 
can stick the hard drive in and then just connect it to another Mac, 
the drive mounts and you can recover ALL of the data.  May have to run 
something like DiskWarrior to clean up the directory but I'd be 
surprised if you can't get it all back.  I have one of those enclosures 
and would be willing to send it to you John.  Email me off list if you 
would like to borrow it.  It should be quite simple.
