It's not a bias, it is a fact. Any way you cut it the AVERAGE
person in the street has a computer now. And it runs the M$ operating
system. I would think however that once a year the QST computer section
could talk to Linux and the Ham software that runs on it.

I will e-mail the guy and see if he is interested. From my own
experiance it was Ham Radio that got me started with Linux, first running
Brian's TNOS as a bbs, later the wonderful FBB packet bbs and all the
az25-util's.
