Don't you get start-up messages like this?

| DaveHorsMacBook% gimp

(Zillions of them, as Gimp checks plug-in after plug-in, whilst appearing 
to access the Net.)

Not enough memory?  I've got 4GB here!

Speaking of launchers, is there an Idiot's Guide to it anywhere?  Apple 
appear to have gone out of their way to abolish such fine old institutions 
like /etc/inetd.conf, /etc/crontab, /etc/fstab etc...
