Something tells me, Phil, that you're not one of the millions of people who 
use computers every day without understanding anything about them.  My 
guess is that your response to the thought of such people is "Well, they 
should."  But the world doesn't go round that way.  As long as I've been 
around UNIX the UNIX folks have argued that it is a better operating 
system.  They are right but the reason that it is not mainstream is not the 
fault of Microsoft; it is the "fault" of those consumers that want to use 
computers, not understand them.

BTW, I tend to feel the same way you do about computer users who are 
"driving without a license" but something simply "are."

Cheers --- Larry
