UNIX: cd /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/registration
MAC :   click on usr
        find, then click on local
        find, then click on etc
        find, then click on httpd
        find, then click on cgi-bin
        find, then click on registration
        fuck, windows all over the place.
        close usr
        close local
        close etc
        close httpd
        close cgi-bin
        oh, wait, a shortcut!!!
        "Apple"-F : find registration
        wait
        wait some more
        "show" registration
        close find application
UNIX:   cp test.txt /
MAC :   Click on "test.txt"
        Then hold down the "option" key
        if (disk_icon is visible) 
          {
            drag(test.txt to disk_icon)
          }
        else
          {
           let go of the "option" key 
           move everything around sporadically until disk_icon appears
            drag(test.txt to disk_icon)
          }
UNIX: rm test
MAC : if (you_know_the_super_special_i'd_tell_you_but_i'd_have_to_kill_you_top_secret_key_combination) 
        {
          then do_it;
        }
      else
        {
          if (you_can_see_the_trashcan) 
                {
                  drag "test" to trashcan
                }
          else
                {
                  move everything sporadically until you can 
                  see the trashcan
                }
        Click on Special->Empty Trash
        }
UNIX: emacs
MAC : simpletext

No, really, can we call your parents first?n
I don't really think you meant to do that. y
No, really, Are you sure you want to do this?y
Perhaps we should discuss the files, one by one.
I think we're getting a divorce.y
"I ... love ... trash" (stupid sesame street extension)
Sorry, system folder is in use.  Quit application?y
Sorry, cannot quit system folder. 
Sorry, Item "Trash" cannot be removed because has items in it that
are in use.
