Seeing as the Desktop is all Robertson seems to care about, I think it's correctly inferred that he's referring to "single user" desktop systems. Not to be confused with "single-user" modes of Unix, which is completely orthangonal to what I think the heart of this discussion should have been. Gregory -- Gregory K.
