Stupid Mac tricks

by Don Hosek

I recently switched from Dropbox to sync for my synchronized cloud folder needs. Along the way, I moved all the files that were in ~/Dropbox to ~/Sync  I had a terminal window open with a shell cd’d to ~/DropBox/PreppyLion for the book I’m working on. I expected to get an error about that directory being in use and I couldn’t move the directory along with the other files. No error. Then I look in the terminal window and type in pwd  It showed ~/Sync/PreppyLion  It’s little things like this that always make me happy with modern computing platforms. I don’t know if this would work on Linux or Windows, but I’m happy it does on MacOS.
