Find your OS X version using the command line
Using the command line is always faster than going through graphical menus and windows with mouse clicks.
To find my OS X version using graphical tools,
I have to move the mouse to the top left corner to the apple menu,
which is not an ergonomic movement with a touchpad.
Then click on the apple,
select About This Mac, and click.
So much easier using the command line,
especially when my hand is already on the keyboard:
$ sw_vers
