COMPLETE AGREEMENT.

MORE complete agreement! Apple, you listening? I have SO many times
wished I could just boot with a key down instead of having to go through
my system folder and carefully pick out all offending inits when I am
testing software to see if it is Mac II Incompatible or merely
incompatible with one of my many inits. A question on this subject: I
have noticed that some INITs do check for one key or other upon loading.
Has Apple announced a standard check taht everyone is ignoring? Or is
the subject simply ignored?
