From what I have seen, there are a zillion more games available for Windoze machines than Mac machines. |

The average user has no routine reason to search for and find directories in the operating system, Apple or Windows. Do you mean applications or programs? |

No, I mean things like libraries and plist files or in windows, the registry and other arcana. |

No, I mean things like libraries and plist files or in windows, the registry and other arcana. There are settings in the apple libraries I sometimes need to get to to adjust the way a program works or looks, or to make sure I eliminate all the crud a program I've deleted has scattered about the hard drive. Apple's OS has ways to seek out, find and modify or get rid of this stuff if you know where to look. As an example, there are settings in Thunderbird and Firefox CSS files in Mac OS that allow a user to more heavily customize the appearance on screen of more aspects of the programs. You have to know how to make certain libraries visible and what to look for once you find the right file and of course how to modify the setting you want. -- There’s no point crying over spilled 4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol. |

You have never lost a file from the infamous Office save function? Not that I know of. If I did, it must not have been very important. |
