Surely this is another of the benefits for Mac users - there is a genuine 'community' of Macheads who happily write up haxies etc to open hidden OSX features just to contribute to thier peers - Version Tracker is full of them. Apple encourages developers to look in the guts of the OS and this facilitates this user benefit, but it is anathema to Bill and the Redmond world domination boys. Hence OSX just gets better and better even for non-terminal command line junkies like myself. Plus there are plenty of handy (and good) freeware apps put out there in the same spirit of co-operationand fraternity. Why does anyone with a choice still stumble around in the darkness of Microsoft?
