Amen, amen, amen.  I love my MAC, but the one thing
that drives me crazy on the MAC, no matter what I am doing,
is the inability to use regular expressions.  This is true
within applications as well as at the Finder level. 

Why can't I tell my Mac, "do this to <pattern>"  and
leave it by itself for a few hours?  As a longtime UNIX
fan, I resent having to babysit my MAC.  

(-: I thought computers were for automation :-)
