It's sad that many thousands of us have had to work for several decades
to make unix-like systems popular enough that we can use them at work
and we and our friends can use them to do our daily computing, and then
we still have to turn around and support the lowest common denominator
far below our feet.  Do we really need to continue to stoop so low just
for just a see tiny bit more popularity?  When is all this stooping down
going to backfire on us?
