Yet another goober who isn't able to tell the difference between inspired by
Windoze and inspired iPhoto/iTunes. Panther's Finder is like Window's
Explorer only in that both have window panes to the left and a toolbar on
the top. That is it. Window's toolbar isn't user configurable and neither is
the window pane and, if either can be turned off, I don't know about it.

The Panther toolbar is just like Jaguar's although access to user folders
defaults to the windowpane rather than the toolbar. The top left pane is for
all mounted drives. The bottom is configurable by the user. The effect is
iTunes-like not Windows.

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by frost.
