So, the laptop is still down. I can now boot into Classic but not OSX. But I am consistently bombing out upon shutdown. have not tried putting it to sleep yet. Pep was right, it’s a clean slate. I still haven’t given up yet, though. I have one more thing to try. I burnt MSIE + iTunes for Classic onto CD so that I can have basic functionality, but I did not have Stuffit Expander for Classic. @ Amy’s now burning that.

Meanwhile, Chad came by to help me work on the Volvo (suspected that the fuel pump is bad, but still researching.) Anyway, he made me laugh, ‘cos he had a modified “Support Our Troops” magnet on his car. I decided my Amy modified “God Bless the USA” magnet had finally found a home, and here is the documentation.
