How I ended up with Mac

And then you want to access a hidden folder, which on Windows or Linux you could just go to the address bar and type in the name. On OS X, I have yet to figure out how.

That's assuming it saw my network computers in the first place, of course. If I try to get to them too soon after booting, they simply never appear.

Cmd-shift-G in finder. (In an open file dialog, typing '~' or '/' will also bring up the same 'go to folder' dialog.)

Type cmd-shift-g in Finder or just type a forward slash in an open or save dialog to bring up a path entry window, much like the old GTK file dialog. To connect to a SMB system, use cmd-g and type smb://server/share

Many months of Mac frustration taught me these things.

Command + Shift + G might be what you're looking for, as a kind of replacement for address bar.
