Terminal (also referred to as Terminal.app) is a terminal emulator included in Apple's Mac OS X operating system.

On Mac OS X, Terminal is located in the /Applications/Utilities folder.

[edit] History
Terminal first appeared in Mac OS 10.0.
[edit] 2.0
Version 2.0 of Terminal shipped with Mac OS 10.5 had some notable new features, including tabbed windows to allow for better organization of multiple terminal sessions, and themes for providing several distinctive looks for Terminal.
In addition, the split-window feature was removed.
[edit] 2.1
Version 2.1 shipped with Mac OS 10.6, and saw the return of the split-window feature that was removed in version 2.0.
[edit] Criticism
Terminal.app only supports 16-color mode as of this writing. The lack of support for 256-color mode causes problems with custom color-schemes in text-editors such as Vim or Emacs.
