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?
