 DB> Hmmm... I wouldn't call it difficult.

I don't know!

 DB> Try booting without extensions (the Mac equivalent of Win9x's safe
 DB> mode).  See if the Mac comes up and running.  Replace the defective
 DB> extension and reboot. Works 90%+ of the time.

That's what they say. What the exercise said is that even if extensions 
are not activated (shift-key, that is!!) you can't really take for 
granted that you might fix the problem or simply fix it.

 DB> If the above doesn't work, boot off the OS CD and reinstall the OS with
 DB> the option of installing the OS into a new system folder (clean
 DB> install).  Correct the problem and bless the old system folder.

Reinstallation is shit. I like to fix things.

 DB> Compared to Win9x or WinNT, Mac OS is a breeze to work on.

Probably, I prefer working on a Mac myself.
