   No, its more like saying that the Morris Minor is fading in the
   face of the VW Beetle.

   How can you compare UNIX to a Rolls? I've never met a UNIX devote
   who would go that far.

I gather you are a fan of the Rolls. Anyway, I just meant
that some low-volume products can co-exist indefinitely with
competing high-volume products. (But I wouldn't give up
Unix in exchange for a Rolls Royce...)
