Panic: We are hanging here.

>
My attempts to load incompatible software onto my aged Mac have ultimately resulted in this:

I start up the computer and get a very strange screen with very strange words and numbers that end with

"panic: we are hanging here"

...Ohhhh-kay.

Looks like a complete reinstall is in my future.

A reinstall I will have to perform in a state of panic. Because they're hanging here.
