   While I understand what you are saying, the statement only reinforces 
the view of the vast majority of people who reject Linux and Unix for that 
matter based upon the real difficulties of using them.

         I do not consider myself a novice at computing and I love the text 
mode of Linux and it's speed, but spending inordinate amounts of time 
trying to learn and use this obviously great system is a time consumer 
neither I nor most other folks can aford.

         Even when I have consulted the how to docs, I have to say that 
they often only sort of help.  So why is there not a tape tutorial for 
Linux tht can be used by the average blind person?  Maybe that is more 
needed than any other project.
