in reply to Impress your children with Perl

Hmm, maybe you could write a wrapper that *somehow* gets "Terminal Velocity", a better Linux terminal graphics demo to run automagically. You know, to show off all the modern multimedia capabilities of your modern Apple device ;-)

BTW, if i had children, they wouldn't get walled garden devices, they's be using Linux.

    IOS is a very walled garden, which seems like a fine idea--for the kind of people who fingerpaint on half a computer. macOS defaults to a similar situation with its apps and app store, but once a terminal is open you are in a certified Unix 3 environment. Homebrew and macports provide tons of unix and linux software. Lulu is a must for precise control of Apple telemetry. Run Linux in a window with UTM. IOS can run Linux too.
