Unix should always be capitalized, IMHO.

Thank you

My Mac just died. I am so sad. I loved that thing and we were going to be together forever.

Can I ever replace it? I think I will try a Surface tablet. Just to look at another Apple device would be too painful right now.

I have a sad spot on my butt for my woes.

In addition I was pleasantly surprised that it is still possible to run the old Classic Menu App in Mountain Lion. When installed, it is layered over the Apple Menu and can be used by Control-clicking the Apple to show the classy “Classic OS 9″ hierarchical file menu. With Spotlight it may be mostly redundant now, but I still like the way one could flip down through folders and see their content and get to a specific folder or file. Plus it can put the Classic multicolored Apple back in the Menubar.

FinderPop is a neat System Preference that has an option to right-click anywhere in the empty space of the Menubar to show a list of Folders (that can be specified) in a hierarchical drop-out list, like one could do in the Classic OS. If one checks off “Show Invisible Items”, anything on your HD can be accessed with two clicks.
That’s beside its main use as a fast file archive utility.
