I'm a newcomer to this whole guild thing, but i noticed a lot of arguments of Linux and Unix, vs. Microsoft. What the programmer tends to forget about computers and software, is that it's designed for people like my mother, who know nothing, (I mean nothing) about computers. My mom has trouble using Microsoft Word 97, because she can't get things like the cursor to go where she wants. This is an example of what normal, and i use that term loosely, people want to do with computers. Maybe that's an extreme example, but you get the point. All that GUI stuff makes a computer look entertaining and easy. You get me? Slickj
