Yes, we are spoiled by the old Mac OSs. I have been using UNIX and Macs for 14 years and am about to spring for OS X for the first time. All that has been said about the utility of the CMD line, ROOT priveleges, GREP, VI etc. is true -- very useful, and once learned you will not want to go back. I hardly ever use the UNIX GUI -- it gets in the way. There is a learning curve, but try and take it one thing at a time, and you will grow into it. No comparison between UNIX and DOS CMD mode BTW. / dave watkins
