While I agree with John's comments wholeheartedly, I just want to point
out -- puleeeeeez -- that SCO and ISC are not "THE" UNIX vendors!
Everex, Dell, Intel, UHC, and AT&T themselves all market shrink wrapped
end user UNIX. The days of only one or two players in the UNIX
marketplace are just a memory, albeit one SCO and ISC's marketing drones
would love to perpetuate...
