I particularly like how you are doing everything you can to avoid
contacting Apple while the computer is in this problem state, so as to
avoid actually allowing anyone to diagnose and resolve the issue.
Instead, you fumble around until it's up and running again, so that
nobody on the planet can tell what was actually wrong. Good work, and
may you continue to "struggle" so that you can endlessly complain
without actually allowing anyone to help. 

Mission accomplished! ; )
