The Terminal
Windoze users will try to peddle the myth that their machine is a "real computer." Stuff and Nonsense! It's a brick.
Where is it? It's in
Applications/Utilities and it's the
terrminal. Go into that folder now and pull the terminal
down into your application dock.
What is it? It is a means of interacting with your computer that is programmable, configurable and extensible. It is a powerful tool that can be dangerous if used sloppily. Respect it, like you would respect a chainsaw. Learn to use it well and it can save you tons of work.
Go to my YouTube videos on using the terminal. The entire series was created on a Mac.
