	Yup, most people are.  Many people who predict the downfall of
unix cannot even list the number one vendor because it doesn't register on
the technical horizon for most of us.  Funny thing is that its competition
does.

	Last I heard the network OS vendors were ranked as follows:

	1. MS WinNT server
	2. Novell Netware
	3. SCO OpernServer
	4. IBM OS/2

	I forget whether the metric was dollars of sale or number of
copies.
