I know of several ST owners who have no desire to even THINK about programming
their STs.  The fact that the ST is easy to program does not mean people will
always program it.

And, PLEASE, do not assume your limited experience (this is not a flame; I have
limited experience in this matter also, as does just about everybody) on people
who own STs represents the whole.  Sure, the ST might have a larger percentage
of programmers, but percentages don't count -- numbers do.
