One minor quibble...
Authored by: robg on Sep 26, '04 04:42:40PM

Kirk has the description right of what I was trying to convey :). I completely agree that Apple made no such fundamental switch in OS X. But they did flip a simple switch which basically made affected many of the Unix hints on the site (and in the book).

As you point out, what made it even more interesting is that existing users shells were left alone. While this is as it should be, it certainly led to some interesting tech support discussions, at least for me (as I was still using tcsh).

And good idea on macosxpowerhound; it's now registered and should point here shortly :).
