Good comparison for MSDOS. The old Bugs were good cheap reliable basic
transportation. MSDOS is a good cheap reliable basic OS for people who
want to get some real work done. Bad comparison for Unix. Unix is more
like a commerical van. Infinitely customizable with a huge capacity but
expensive, slow and guzzles gas. Or are you saying that Unix is a
yuppie toy when you compare it to a Porsche? :-)
