if we were dealing in machines and not people i would agree with you
but we are not. Allow me to stretch a point, you surely expect your
company to light your office, provide furniture, health bennies etc.
why ? UNIX machine do not need any of those ! We are dealing in
people here and (at least) i do not live by unix alone. and i will
mention net.cooks, rec, motss etc. the beauty of the net is its
breadth of interests, its exciting to feel that you're not just tied
into another techno-nerd net.
