"~" is UNIX shorthand for your user folder. Assuming your OS X username is "Andrew Stiller," it's probably called "astiller" and located at Macintosh HD/Users/astiller, and it should be marked with a home icon. Inside, there should be a folder called "Public" and inside *that* should be a folder called "Drop Box"

Yep, there it is, five layers down. How sensible. How useful.

In 10.3 and 10.4, the Public folder is in the Finder sidebar by default. In 10.2, I believe it's in the Finder toolbar by default. You can also drag the Drop Box to either the sidebar or the toolbar, or (again) put an alias to it wherever you want.

You are just going to have to accept that you *cannot* do that in OS X.

And yet I have been, for two years, with inconvenience but w.o incident.

You can't install an application because your permissions are so fouled up Disk Utility can't fix them, and your permissions are so fouled up because you insisted on ignoring the OS X directory structure. Welcome to your first incident.
