  <p>New OS X dev here. I have a modicum of user data I need to store (just paths to recently opened files, really). What is the preferred way of storing these in Cocoa land? I've heard of Core Data before but, as a Windows dev who has encountered tons of APIs from MS like this, does anyone actually use this?</p>
  
  <p>I could just write everything to my own file, of course, but I'd prefer to do things The Right Way(TM).</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be great!</p>
