Sorry about the 'we'. The 'we' refers to the us of the older generation who grew up with Classic. You are right of course, now there are many new technically astute users, such as yourself, espousing the Mac for its solid underpinnings. These folk can use the most modern GUI on a thoroughly wetted solid foundation in more creative ways to get their work done including by use of the command line.

"We Mac users"? You have a mouse in your pocket? I specifically bought OS X because of a technical feature (read: BSD). You're right that you need no knowledge of the terminal (Terminal.app to you) to use OS X and it's good for you get atop your soap box and preach it. I just don't ike being lumped in with your local group of Mac buddies, especially, when you make 'us' sound like a bunch of dolts. And before you think I am a techie, let me tell you I'm a graphic/web designer who is in love with his 'arcane' commands. I don't mean to be so harsh on you, but that comment made 'us' look silly. And that's the kind of fodder (insert OS here) zealots just love.
