Yeah, we have users here that have been on Mac since day 1 that we're going to have to force onto OSX. My boss has a gorgeous TiBook and it blew me away the first time I looked at the screen and saw it running OS9.2
I was floored when I went to school and started using Macs in the 90's ... I saw there was no command line and I said "What if something goes wrong, how do I get into the terminal" ... Then I realized nothing ever went wrong :) It is nice to have the power of Unix now though, but a lot of old-school Mac users still find the terminal daunting.

I tend to forget that since I've been running Unix on top of my Macs for... hmm, best part of ten years. I used to have Tenon Intersystems' Mach Ten product running on my old 520c and my PowerMac Performa, back in the day (BSD 4.3 based on Mach 2.5 kernel, with X11R5). I think it's nice to see X11 natively available now... > By the way, you can just double-click on that JAR file instead of > typing: java -jar coldfusion-j2ee-java.jar Shows how much of a command-line geek I am - that never occurred to me. For real hardcore, you can run it in console mode (useful for remote installs): java -jar coldfusion-j2ee-java.jar -i console "I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
