iTerm on Mac's

I was sitting in Marcus Christie's office Wednesday and saw him use this new cool terminal program - tabbed terminal program - called iTerm - I made a mental note to figure out where to get the software.

Then Friday my pal Paul Hubbard posts a blog post and sends me a note about it:

FYI,

Now I have it and it is installed. The only key is that Command-T opens a new tab.

This will help me a lot because no I can have *ALL* my windows full size - I normally run with about six terminal windows (vi, find, and grep are my IDE).

The problem is that tiny fonts make one's eyes get weaker. So now I will experiment with iTerm full screen with large font - should be nice.
