      Don't worry Granddad, you won't have to give up your precious CLI. Many of Tiger's new features, such as Core Image and the H.264 codec, mean nothing in the Terminal world, but I have heard of at least one - Spotlight, arguably the biggest feature of them all - which has been made to be accesible from the CLI as well as the GUI. There is a place for you shell-lovin' fogeys in Apple's grand plan!

      Bah, CLI. Why, in MY day all we had was clams and sand. Back then our calculations had a lot more tolerance, and we liked it that way.

    Private surfing mode is not the only is the great pr0n surfing feature in Tiger. During the keynote, to introduce devs to Automator, the presenter built a script to "download all the pictures over a certain size" from a webpage.

    Heh

      Do you mean size in pixels, or does this OS have some mad AI :)?
