I agree - take it to the shop already.
In numerous years of Mac tinkering, I've never had this kind of problem - generally the reinstall just works. Perhaps there is some other problem?

Do you mean 'it only just works'?

Double confusing of this story is that OS X just a clone of UNIX - the system where EVERYTHING can be fixed unless your drive is dead! Let's say thanks to all gays in Apple who "thinks different" - they made normal OS absolutely unrecoverable by normal user.
I have one useless hope - apple customers STUDY AT LAST(!) that Apple is not a company to buy products from. Just forget 'em. And never moan if you did.

For treating you, CP's very own Chris Maunder, with such foul intent, I propose we at CP band together and exterminate the iKingdom forthwith.

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors.” Such “supervisors” deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
