I went on and wrote a review about MacOSX 10.0.4 a month ago, but it was never finished as I had to fly to France for my own wedding. I came back and MacOSX 10.1 had been released. I scrapped completely the old text, as 10.1 brings some more speed and new features to the system, and restarted writting the review from scratch.

For the UNIX-ignorant, ~/ means "my home directory".
If you are trying to move something to your home directory, open your home directory and drop it in. If that doesn't work, then there are only a few possibilities:
1. You are moving a file between drives. In this case the Finder will simply copy the file to the new location. You can tell this is happening because the pointer gets a little "+" next to it.
2. You don't have rights to the file.
3. Something is quite broken.
I don't know what could be behind option 3. I have been running Mac OS X on a number of machines since the public beta a year ago, and I have never seen this behavior, but of course ymmv.
