I almost lost the iBook

About a week ago my Apple iBook, 12" little laptop had a hiccup. I thought it was fatal. I turned it on and it would boot to the desktop but then the screen would go all blue not desktop icons or tool bar, then all of those things would show up again, then disappear. This happened every few seconds. I couldn't click on anything.

I finally stumbled onto this link which had me boot in Safe Mode (didn't even know there was a safe mode with OS X), and delete my profile, then reboot. That did the trick. Of course I had to reset all my preferences, but at least the machine is usable again.
