Ummm... Clarification please...
You write;
"...the only problem being screamer and threatening to kill kids..." As "screamer", I'm wondering what you mean?
As was mentioned earlier, if you go to Edit/Find from the desktop, you'll be able to find just about anything (including your Unix files - even the ones that don't show on the default desktop) as well as dropping out to the terminal and doing the old fashioned grepping...
It took me about 5 days of solid use before I "got" the intuition to OSX, but now I find it very nice to live with. YMMV.
Drop me a line if you got specific questions or go down to that wunnerful Mac Forum down the first IWETHEY page.
