a G3 imac in the lab has all my research results stored and crashed today. it happened after i shut it off by clicking on the shut down from apple icon. for unknown reasons (i suspect it may have something to do with the power supply), the imac can not be turned back on. given that the lab is considering purchasing new G5 imac's, all i need is to somehow retrieve all my data from the dead G3 imac and transfer them to the server and later when we have the G5 i can put them onto the new G5. i heard that there is a firewire thing that i can use to transfer data between computers, the only question is if i can transfer my data while the G3 is off. any input (be it about rebooting the old G3, or transferring data without turning on G3) will be greatly appreciated
