I know I don't. OS X used to ship with tcsh as the default shell. I'd have to
boot up the old Mac to see if Panther had tcsh as the default. Tiger (which I'm
running right now) has bash as the default shell. Which is nice, because its
the default on nearly all Linux distros (and therefore I've used it a lot).
