The AKAI's USB port does not carry enough voltage to cause your computer to fail. It only appears like it has caused your HDD to fail. your drive finally collapsed due to a prolonged problem. You should have seen or heard indications of failure from long before.

LOFL!

sorry to laugh at your misfortune (HDD failure sucks big time!) - but to even sugest that the MPC4ooo could be held responsible for such an act! lol! The only way the mpc4ooo could have done it was if you picked it up and threw it at your mac (which lets face it, would probably help (i have a thing against mac's y'see)).

again, sorry to laugh - I hope you sort things out.

Thats some pretty funy Shi# JUES :lol: But i didn't mean to give
the wrong idea ..Just telling it like it happend ..

Im using my pc with xp right now untill i can get a new HDD.. i personly
have been using a pc most my life and macs about 3 years both have
there good points and bad.. EXAMPLE pc's get viruses more than macs ..
You might say on what basis .. EXE that worm incident that was all over
the net you know the one that was created by 17to18 year old and was caught and never heard about again ..WEll that only afected PCs- micrsoft
And macs are plain out OVER PRICED ... :x

Oh and why did we never here about the genus again well if you were the
goverment what would you put him in jail or hire a new employee ..

PROPS goes out to the GENUS 8) 8)

If I have my Apple "Pismo" Powerbook off and it's plugged into the 4k when I turn the 4k on it fires up the Powerbook. It's as if the 4k gives a "power on" USB command to what ever is plugged in. Very odd.
