I've been typing standard unix device names for almost 20 years, and I've gotten pretty fast and handy at it. The devfs thing is a major annoyance to me, and so far I have been successful in ignoring it. But how long will that last. What I want to know is, what question was devfs an answer to? There must have been one, right? Is it a posix thing? I suppose I could research these questions myself, but it's too hot outside. ~:^)
