*I* think so. User levels range from Unix fr33kZ like me to another guy
I know, who knows nothing about Unix and doesn't care, but he loves the
interface and it looks like a cool, more stable OS 9 with great glitz.
(And the fact he can Force Quit without running the risk of memory
corruption is appealing, so in some small sense he does appreciate the
Unix background, even if it's transparent/uninteresting to him. :-)
