Chad: Depending on how old your system is, Apple may be able to replace it. Otherwise, locate a Mac Users Group (there is one here in my city) and find another Mac user with the same system. Even a copy of the Tiger load disk is all you need. Unfortunately, I know of no place on the Internet that I would trust to download it from.
