I want a Unix-based OS with the looks and convenience of MacOSX and the software library of Windows (minus the viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, etc)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I should also add "free" to this list.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Alright, then Linux-based or whatever. I still wanna be able to hit ctrl-alt-F1 to go to a VTerminal. Sometimes I just prefer the real thing to an emulator.

Oh, and making the UI completely keyboard accessible would be another plus. Works better on a laptop that way, and some days I just feel lazier than others.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Any terminal run in a graphical environment is, technically speaking, a terminal emulator. Even a regular old xterm. I've seen Mac OS X run in a text-only environment, but I can't remember how you boot into it that way.

And yeah, I've used OS X's keyboard access setting. Still not quite what I mean by fully accessible though. Can you move or resize windows with the keyboard? I was also having some trouble getting certain programs to "zoom" from the keyboard.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
