   You know, many of my Mac using friends were overjoyed when OS X came   
   out and had the BSD core. They were exploring the command line and   
   always asking me how to do this and that on the CLI. They liked it   
   because it allowed them to do many things that they could not do in   
   the GUI. Even Mac users like the CLI.
