Mac has console login. Yawn.

One of my co-workers found out that it is possible to log in via a FreeBSD console window on a Mac. The trick is to type ">console" as your username in the graphical login screen, and hit Enter. He then showed how he could start X11 from there. I was somewhat impressed, until he realized that he could not quit out of X11 and get back to the console. Then I just laughed at him.
