The overwheming majority of the worlds business dosen't need someone who can dig into UNIX

What's with all those UNIX admin jobs I see on Monster.com?

and the overwheming majority of the real world schools don't teach UNIX programming

Mine did. Acutally, most do, except those sponsored by Microsoft. Yes, I worked for a non-Mac university for several years. All of the hundreds of lab computers were dual-boot Linux/Windows, with a Linux server to re-image the workstations on the fly. I even know lots of old UNIX people who bought a Mac after OS X just because it's UNIX.

like most people with G-classes never take them off the pavement -

Yet those true fanatics who want to get the most out of their purchase will. In that case they get power and comfort, something lacking in the Windows world.

??? are you under the impression that most colleges in this world are only teaching some facet of computer programming ? If our schools are giving veterinarian or soil hydraulics engineering students coerces in UNIX programing that would explain a lot of why our educational system is screwed up.
