    There's always Powershell on OS X, go for the superior version
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

          Mac software was over twice the price of Microsoft when I had one.

            Did it come in a box with disks?

              I've heard there's this new thing in computing called a "Graphical User Interface". I'm quite excited by it. Does OS X support anything like that?
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                It does in a Windows 95 sort of way, yes.

                  Don't be thick.

                  CLI experience is a useful addition to your skills.

                    I'm thinking about going the other way. I am that impressed with Windows 10 that when the Surface Pro 4 comes out (as long as there is one that has 16GB ram config) I will replace the MBP and Ipad with it. The Mac is nice, but does crash from sleep wake failures far too often for my liking.

                      Another pleasure of using the mac is the smile that you have when someone "from Microsoft" rings you up to tell you that there is something wrong with your Windows.
