Oh, go and piss on someone else's parade. Linux is being used on many
"real world" computers.  Not every "real computer" situation involves
secretaries, werps and dtps. Many "real world" computers control fact-
ory equipment, provide resource services, store databases, crunch out
numbers, run complicated CAD packages and provide bases so that geeky
programmers can write more werps and dtps for secretaries.

Unix is still going strong. Take your head out of the clouds and look
at the wide variety of uses for computers. Your werps and dtps may be
the most popular, but this doesn't constitute the only "real computer
market". A good user interface isn't always required; not on machines
which are never touched by the user.
