iTerm, terminal emulator for OS X

Remember that dingy "computer" lab in the basement of your dorm? The one with a bunch of aging beige terminals you used to email your classmates, and play MUD's? I do. Ah, the venerable VT line from DEC (remember those crazy cats?)... Well you can get your VT100 groove back with iTerm, a simple terminal emulator for OS X written entirely in Cocoa. It's not the only one out there, but from what I've seen the developers are very keen to make it the best terminal emulator out there. The debate on that rages over on Slashdot. There are lots of little niceties that make this special, like AppleScript support and custom backgrounds for windows, but if you're really interested just download it and try it. I have found there is a niche audience for this, but a pretty strong audience nonetheless.
