Help!

I was in the middle of a file copy yesterday and my Mac+ froze
up.  I didn't think much of it -- as a longtime user of IBMPCs,
I got used to occasional brain-drain :-).  Unfortunately, when
I tried to reboot, the internal 800k drive wouldn''t recognize
*any* system file!!  I hit the "interrupt" button (programmer's
switch) and got a Sad Mac icon . . .

With that number under it.  

I seem to be SOL, and am now facing the prospect of paying large $
to get it looked at.  I'm disappointed and quite annoyed (the machine
is 4 months old . . . just out of warranty!)  

Any suggestions?  Please email, I'll post a summary.
