Christopher Holland,

There are a number of cool things that you can get using the path utilities. Try using the following functions:
NSFullUserName() - Returns a string containing the full name of the current user.
NSHomeDirectory() - Returns a path to the current user's home directory.
NSHomeDirectoryForUser(NSString *userName) - Returns a path to the home directory for the user specified by userName.
etc, etc.... check out Apple's documentation for more insights.
