So how come a friend of mine, who hasn't used UNIX in two years,
and who uses IBM-PCs and Macs all day long at work, LEAPED at the
chance to use my UNIX system to do a few pages of personal wordprocessing?

The first production application of UNIX was text processing.  Books
are typeset using UNIX.  How many books do you have on your shelf
that were typeset under MS-DOS?
