Before Leopard, Mac OS X expected the Users folder to be in the same disk location as the active System. This is usually no problem for Mac users with only one hard disk but for those cognoscenti who work in more rarified ways, having a System and the Users folders in different places is a real bonus.

Vicki Butler Henderson once admitted on TV that she was so in love with the car that she has underwear with ‘Type R’ printed on the waist band.

That job taught me a lot of useful lessons, such as how to drive a dumper truck, use F*** every third word and what page 3 girls look like.
