Yes, you were not totally wrong in your response but for being 34 you could have ignored and moved on. Now, go get yourself a retail copy of Leopard for $129 (small price to pay for getting a free mac) and load it up. When the disk is in re-start the computer and hit C on startup to get the disk to load. I would do a fresh install of Leopard.
Hope this answers your question of what to do. It sounds like something became corrupted and since you probably want your Mac to be yours just do the fresh install.
Thank you very much! I am going to go get it after work. And yes you're right I could of ignored it , but at that time of the morning and being frustrated it didn't hit me right! But thank you again. The first guy told me that already as well it was on my list of things to do after work!
Agreed. You may also want to ask him about basic grammar rules
I'm sorry, but after reading the first page, I can't help but contribute to this 'animosity'.
because in most cases, that's a bigger pain in the ass than inquiring on the forums. Obviously, not in this case....
OP - you may get better help on the Mac support forums.

Okay since this a forum to answer questions and not bicker and flame
Hold the 'Option' key before you press the power button and keep holding it until you see your drives pop up. If nothing pops up after around 30 seconds, I'd say you need to restore the computer like a previous poster already stated. To do this you will need the original Restore DVDs. If you don't have it, you will need to buy or request it for Apple. Word of advice, don't call people names and be nice about it. The CSR may be nice enough to provide the discs for free. Remember they can only do so much, but if you're gracious and courteous, they can help you more.
Finally, if you do get the discs, when your power on, hold the 'C' key until you see the gears so the computer should boot onto the Restore DVD. Proceed from there. If you are unable to see your HDD, then it mean you need the HDD replaced; if you can't even boot onto the Restore DVD, it means there are bigger underlying hardware issues that will require the computer to be diagnosed and repaired by a certified Apple technician or by Apple themselves.
