Well it's nice to know that i'm not the only old duffer around. I 
started in 1959. I set up a solder school for the navy some years back 
for board repair personnel and the thought of working on a multilayer 
board scares me to death. If you are careful, some superficial work can 
be done but that's it. Troubleshooting is a nightmare as well. I guess 
i'm back to suggesting the use of a post board. The cost less than $10 
these days. They really do give you a lot of information about the cause 
of the problem.
