Thanks! That was a brilliant read with my morning coffee(s). I never
thought such an innocuous phrase, which I intended to be very vague
anyway, would get me such an injection of specificity!

In the letter I wrote to the editor at the NYT, I really just wanted to
point out that the Internet survives and thrives on platforms other than
MS, in fact *despite* the huge deployment of MS desktops with their
built-in virus-spreaders.

People have this idea, as is mentioned below, that the "Web", the
"Internet" and Internet Explorer are all the same thing. I try to
explain it to them, but their eyes just glaze over...

"....right, soooo, how do get the web to work...?"

oh, fsck, just click on that blue "E"...:-P
