Okay! Main computer is up and running again! It turns out that the CPU burned out; there's a nice big burn mark in the middle and that's what was making the smell. So phew, I have access to all my stuff again! AND RIGHT NOW I'M GOING TO BACK UP EVERY DAMN THING ON MY HARD DRIVES!!!

OMG, it was actually burning? I didn't know that could happen. Now I have something else to worry about. I'm glad to hear you got to all your stuff! I lost all my files when my old Mac died. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Yeah, I'm glad it was anything but my hard drives! I have lost hard drives in the past along with all my files, it's horrible. Now I try to keep everything in more than one place in case something fails, but I get behind on backing things up and that's when I can get screwed.

I've had other stuff literally burn out before. Once I had some memory burn out, and I mean burn out so that it was *smoking*! Crazy. No smoke this time but I sure smelled it! Always know something bad's happened when my comp smells like it's on fire... :p

Hope you get your truck fixed up soon! I feel your pain, I had to get the entire transmission in my old car replaced before :(
