Python 2.5 and 2.5?! Wow! And, err, what on earth did you install tcsh for? csh is a very very bad shell.
Apologies: 2.4 and 2.5. In what way is csh bad, pray? I've been typing commands into it for about 25 years with no problems.
Broken task management and redirections for a start...
For a lot of links to articles telling you why csh and tcsh are bad see: http://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/anti/csh/
Most things are better than a Mac ;)
Ah, the uninitiated... ;-)
Nah - the poor git that gets to "fix" macs when they break round here, and gets incredibly frustrated by the crappy UI, the broken keyboard layout and the very broken userland.
I'm sure that'd be perfectly possible once one is used to the keyboard.
Perhaps; but my typing speed on a Libretto keyboard, which admittedly is somewhat smaller, never approached that on a full-size keyboard despite using one daily for about 9 months. It may just be that I'm clumsy, of course.
I tend to use my Tosh Portege R200 when not in the office, it's small, and I can type on that at the same speed as I do on the desktop at work... ;)
