<
humour> (PoB) A derisory term, in use generally among
Unix
users, for anyone who uses
Microsoft products either because
they don't know there is anything better (i.e. Unix) or
because they would be incapable
of working anything more
complex (i.e. Unix).
The interesting and widespread presumption among users
of the
term is that (at least at the time
of writing, 1998) using
anything other than Unix or a Microsoft OS (whether
VMS,
Macintosh,
Amiga) is so eccentric a choice as to be at
least somewhat praiseworthy.
