I hadn't really thought about this until you said it. I run OS X on a TiBook and a G4 Cube, and even though I'm a Unix junkie, unless I'm doing "Unixy stuff" on my OS X boxes, I never use Terminal. Don't have to. I just run my Classic apps in Classic, and my native apps, well, natively, and it rocks. No going back for me! Eagle -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
