A reinstall of Snow Leopard failed. Booting into safe mode has had some glitches and self-powered speakers that I had plugged into the iMac were occassionally distorted yet now, plugged into another source they seem fine. I am thinking this is a hardware issue, possibly the GPU or graphics card. I bought another 24 inch iMac (for $250) and am waiting for that. I will load that one and then I can take more aggressive steps to see if I can get the older one running again.

I can live without PhotoShop for a while but I really miss the mac.
