I would agree, except I've been spending some time on the Apple Discussion
boards lately, and, well, holy shit but there are a ton of OS X users there
who don't know dick about the underlying BSD architecture.  No, I don't have
numbers, but the person on those boards who actually uses Terminal is few and
far between.

I think a lot of *nix users have adopted OS X (or plan to), but ALL the
freaking existing Classic users are still there, and they are just as bad as
your typical Windoze user.  Worse maybe, because they've been informed that
they don't have to think about security because no one ever hacks Macs (which
is starting to change ;-) 

Just my $0.02.
