Aye, I think the reaction is more to an apparent unwillingness to learn
about such things.  If I discover I might need to learn about something
important, I head to Google straight away.  I don't want to spend time
learning a lot of things I probably should learn, but the universe
doesn't care what I want and so I get right to it.  Seems rational to
me.

I do find Alan's abject incredulity that anyone would want to use Unix
humorous though. :-)
