I am NOT a Unix user.  Decades ago, I was very skilled on an Amiga computer (I 
heard Amiga DOS was basically Linux).  I have almost no experience on Macs.  I 
hate them.  My first attempt at installing Vidalia gave me a message saying: 
"You can't run Tor Browser with FireFox running".  All programs that appeared 
in the "startup list" were unchecked (FireFox was not among them).  Then after 
a cold boot, I got the same message.  So I wiped the F##@$ Mac and re-installed 
only the OS (Snow Leopard) then updated it to the latest, 10.6 17.

Then I download TBB again.  Again I got just a terminal window.  I tried to 
download and install the GUI version so I could get a simple bridge or relay 
running, but it looks the the terminal window is all I am going to get.
If someone could post a link where I could download and install software for 
running a Tor relay or bridge, I'd appreciate it.

Most computer users of my age are not nearly as experienced as I am.  All lot 
younger than me, and they may not have the resources or interest to run a Tor 
relay.  If it's hard to run relay or bridge on the most dumbed down OS (Macs 
seem very stable, but frustrating in anything I have attempted), who is going 
to be running relays?  The 0.1% of the people out there.  Mostly Linux experts 
and no one else.  I'd run in on one of my PC's for now, but life is not 
allowing me the time, to make that an option at this time.

Thanks for any advice.
