You know the irony of this whole thread? It is in relation to a thread I started......and I use an iMac.

Is that "tech speak" for turning it off and on again?

20 years of using Macs never used a 'command line'
i guess i'm doing it wrong?
Maybe that's because for most of that time the OS wasn't unix based and didn't have a command line
Funny thing happened yesterday..... after 9 years of looking after the little SBs she's got a part time job in a property rental place in our local village. I went to have quick look at the (small/not yet open) office and sat on the desk was a lovely new iMac for Mrs SB to use - and I can't think of anyone less nerdy, even Sky+ confuses her sometimes!Posted 6 months ago # -
Command Line.
That sounds well nerdy/geeky.

It's where they hide away all the confusing 'basic settings' that Mac Users don't understand ;).It's perfectly possible to 'just use' a Mac and get on fine with it.
My skill with full suspension mountain bikes could probably be likened to such mac users. I just hop on and ride without fiddling with the settings and am fine unless there's something badly wrong.
But give someone of the same stature as me my FS bike and they'll probably be reaching straight for the airpump because they know a few small tweaks will make a big difference to the usability and general riding experience.I used a Spectrum just fine without the convenience offered by a modern PC. But that doesn't mean I want to go back to those levels of service :P.
