   I am open you showing MIDs and quotes. But do you deny you are still, even   
   recently, claiming I did not know how to get into Safe Mode? You have.   
   Incorrectly.   
      
   You also leave out how you thought an INTERNET boot was booting from the hard   
   drive:   
      
    Snit:   
      -----   
      Or use Option-Command-R or Shift-Option-Command-R to start up from   
      macOS Recovery over the internet.   
      -----   
      
    Gremlin :   
      -----   
      That's the equ of quick boot for a PC, snit. It allows you to   
      temporarily change the startup drive without changing the system   
      configuration in UEFI or system BIOS if it's in legacy mode. I   
      wasn't discussing quick boot, I was explaining (ad nausem) that   
      your recovery mode is a hidden partition on the same internal   
      hard disk as your OS lives.   
      -----   
      
   Pothead still references that... insisting I am somehow responsible for your   
   error (as if you were my sock!) To be fair, I have said Pothead claimed you   
   were my sock... but she did not directly do so. I should be more careful and   
   not it is AS IF you were my sock.   
      
   ...   
      
      
   --   
   It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with   
   you.
