Re: Rewriting computing history...



Have you heard of the MacHack conference?
And that was in the days of a REAL Mac/OS ;-)

But apart from OS X, where do you find a command line in earlier

Actually you can get a command line in the older Mac development tools.
Never saw them so I don't know how it works and don't remember the exact
name, but it's been around for a while.

OS X is sort of like GS/OS with GNO.  If you had GNO installed, you could
pretty much ignore it and stick with the GUI, but if you want the command
line, it's there.

Could you 'hack' a machine from that command line? What I mean by that is
something similar to what you can do at the BASIC prompt on any Apple II
range computer i.e. catalog, run etc.? I was always under the impression that Mac's were boring because they
were GUI only.
