I read in more detail and saw that you think you have OSX 10.8.
If that is is the case, then you should have a recovery volume on the machine.

You can boot to single-user mode with Cmd-Opt-S (?), from there you
can poke around disabling things, perhaps.
Boot from a CD with C and something in the drive. That's
the start-over option. If you have an OS install CD/DVD.

So there is something out there worse than Windows.
Mitch.
It's not the actual OS as much as all the junk attached to it.
And no, it's NOT worse than Windows. Not enough OS left it if crashes

The recovery utility is apparently in firmware somewhere somehow and you
can wake it up with finger incantations that require something like the
gang sign flashing thing.
The problem appears to be an upgrade from OSX 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 which
apparently crashed many many machines. I think this
