Most if not all modern Macs (i.e., Power PC and later) have a button  
on the logic board that permits the board to be reset to factory  
default status. The button until very recently was called the "cuda"  
button. It's now got a new name, which I've forgotten, but it still  
does the same thing. Where it is located depends on your Mac. E-mail  
me off-list with your Mac model and I'll tell you where it is (this  
is a recurring question on various Mac lists). Or, if you'd rather  
have fun finding the answer yourself, Google "cuda button" or "cuda  
reset" and search away.
