A request to all developers: If you write an app that stores defaults or configuration information that includes paths into the user's home directory, store that path with a symbolic reference. On Unix, that would be '~/' instead of the full path to the directory (for me, /Volumes/Data/Users/bbum/). API is provided for automatically expanding the ~ -- it is but one function/method call away. 9:58:58 AM
