You're kidding, right?  Have you ever called an ISP to report a
technical problem that has nothing to do with your computer or even
your connection to them, say a reverse DNS issue?  If you tell them
that you run Unix they just ask you to run IE anyway.  If you don't run
Windows they won't help you.  That's a pretty clear message.


You're kidding, right? We much prefer the security holes of Firefox and Safari. Of course, don't ask my helpdesk for help with linux dialup issues. Too many variations of how to do it. They'll give you the right info, though.
