As a Unix admin who's done lots of work on non-GUI systems,
I have the option to look down on all Mac & DOS/Windoze users.
Whatever.

Having said that, Windoze users have belittled the Mac
platform for *years* on false premises.  Like how they don't
consider Macs to be serious business machines because Macs'
cute GUI makes them more like toys than real computers
(although more games are available for Windoze).  Or how
they think Macs can't run M$ Word because it's not available
(although M$ Word was born on a Mac and has existed since
the birth of the Mac platform).  Only with the extraordinary
development of the Mac OS X platform, the sudden popularity
of the iPod platform, the move to the Intel chipset, and
several critical missteps best known as Windoze Vista has
begun to chip away at these long-standing stereotypes.  Too
bad I *still* run into old-timers who think that M$ Office
is not available on the Mac.  Old habits die hard.
