I have a good deal of sympathy for this position. If someone can convince
my poor and computer-averse daughter to learn Linux, UNIX, etc. and upgrade
to a Mac, in the middle of preparing for her Masters' thesis in a 3-year
programme crammed into 2 years, i'd be very surprised. In fact this is a
micro version of the larger reason Linux has made such slow progress in the
vacuum of user-frieendliness created by Windoze. People haven't the time
nor patience to learn totally new stuff just because it's "better".
