Default Always wanted to try a Mac.

The nice thing about the mac is that it has a decent command line and
you can do everything you need to do from the command line. Which,
given their history, is kind of ironic.


Start Menu, Run. Or WinKey+R, and if you really for some odd reason
want to laboriously type what a mouse click or two can do, WinKey+R,
then CMDF and you can do all sorts of command line 'fun' in a fully text
window.

Windows is starting to get there with Powershell, but controlling
ProTools from Powershell is not going to be a pleasant experience.


Surely you control everything about ProTools from ... ProTools ?

It's really nice to be able to script things and do bulk conversion
of files on OSX. Computers are supposed to do repetitive tasks for
you, not force you to do them yourself.


Um, isn't that what applications are for, irrespective of whichever OS ?
Unless one is some sort of radical command-line fundamentalist.
