There's a great deal of Windows and Mac OS 9 switchers that would run a mile if they went to get a problem solved at the genius bar and the 'genius' started running command line apps that look something like a matrix screensaver to them.

    Use whatever it takes to solve a problem.

    The scary part is not that the self-professed expert didn't use a commandline, it's that he didn't even know one existed.

      I would agree with that. But, make sure you have the full OS install cd because it's often easier to run an Archive and Install which will save your prefs and settings while resulting in a fresh system install. In most instances, you woun't need to plumb terminal to diagnose or fix (although it sounds like you want to).
