A Terminal Emulator for Mac
This brings back to me days at US Dept of Veterans Affair on early 2000 that
Apple Computer was very foreign and limited with only privileged staff.
I am sure Mr. Craig Luigart agreed on this one, right?
Especially the command line interfaces (CLI) for Terminal Emulator for Mac
was never heard of it or not allowed Windows platform. Utilized telnet w/
Mac OS X operating systems to have one or more terminal windows connected to
the local apple computer was a transformation.
