The problem is that you are assuming that everybody wantys UNIX. Ture, you and I would just LOVE UNIX, but let's face it- UNIX and the whole usenet news system is about the most user hostile system anyone's ever seen!

Don't even think for a minute that Unix/Rn, etc are friendly enough "for the average person"There aren't even any menu support, any oftentimes no online help.

Unix is computer software written by professionals for professionals...

If you don't believe me, try using something like searchlight bbs- there are a hundred ways to do everything, and online help is just a "?" or an "F1" away...
