[ABE.pm] I'm a Mac user!

[Faber J. Fedor]

Well, I finally broke down and bought one of the low-end Macbooks.
Actually, it's the bottom end Macbook; since I'm going to upgrade the
memory anyway the 10% increase in processor speed between the two bottom
tiers didn't account for much.  Oh, and I bought an iPod too.

So, what neat stuff do I need to add to this little guy?  What's the Mac
equivalent of apt-get and where do I find a real terminal program (like
Konsole)?  

The software update takes forever!

Hey!  it's got screen!  And vim! I'm impressed!  Those and bash and I'm
ready to hack the system.

Rick, you showed me something where the GUI itself...disappeared and was
replaced by something else (you did show it to me after a few beers
remember)...kinda like the LookingGlass (?) extension to X that Novell has
done (3-D cube interface, etc.).  What was that?  I tried explaining it
to the sales gal but she had no clue  as to what I was talking about?

And where did you get your memory from?  I'm look at 4Allmemory.com, 2 G
for 230 USD.

The sales gal knew her stuff, but when I told her I was a Linux geek and
spent most of my time at the command-line, she knew she ws going to have
a difficult time trying to impress me. :-)

Now, to figure out this file system hierarchy...
