    Sometimes I need someone to bully me a bit, in order to get 
organized. I like that OS X
seems to be pretty consistent about where it dumps files, and opens 
save dialogs. I don't, however,
like that it nests my stuff three folders deep (as was demonstrated on 
Monday.) I also am not
really a fan of OS X's habit of leaving other files (AppleWorks cache & 
clipping files, for example)
in my Documents folder-- wouldn't that be better suited to the 
AppleWorks 6 folder in
Applications? I don't like wading through files I find irrelevant: 
that's why I have a home directory.

    I look forward to that directory being Macintosh HD (or, LUNA, in my 
case) again.
