I'm not much of an old-time Mac user. I've had a series of obsolete Macs
from the original onwards, but I could never use them as my main computer
because I couldn't deal with the volcano.

Windows Explorer isn't bad. At least Windows has a sane key-bindings scheme
as opposed to the Mac's reluctant transition from meta-key phobic that's
left us with a hodgepodge of function/control/opt/command/corner/click
bindings that don't follow any kind of sane scheme.

But combined with UNIX under the hood, it's closer to "the best of both
worlds" than just about anything I've used. It's just... still got some
issues.

There's stuff above here
