Uh oh. I just wrote my first AppleScript. That's a built in scripting language that comes standard on every Mac. In 10.3 all the Apple apps, including the Finder (that's the filesystem front end,) are scriptable with AppleScript. Yes, iTunes, Safari, iPhoto, not to mention Photoshop, Quark and all pro apps, are scriptable. You can get your hooks into everything. I knew this, and yet I had no idea. Damn it's powerful. I'm feeling a little dizzy.
The syntax is bizarre, and that's kept me from experimenting. But now I've found some resources on line and I've got one working (and useful!) script under my belt. So watch out, this might get ugly.

love that. Congratulations.
