Yes, the default shell is BASH, and I didn't understand the comment
about case-insensitivity, as mine works just fine.
I actually got the Imac cheap for the display, figuring to just use it
as an X-Terminal, but I've discovered that some of the Apple apps are
not too bad.
AppleMail is a bit dated, however, and I think I will have to abandon it
for T'Bird, which I'm trying out now, but I hate to lose the automatic
syncing between my home and iBoook mail account settings (messages are
automatic anyway due to imap).
