Everyone, however irrational, thinks they are rational, and from some
special perspective, they are.

You don't sound like a fanatic to me really. Just ignorant and
inconsiderate.

Ignorant of the fact that for15 or more years SCO was a really great product
and a really great company and there is nothing anyone who used that system
all during that time should feel ashamed about.
Ignorant of the fact that one of the ways the OS was great, was that it just
ran and ran for years, which means many currently running boxes were
installed before sco even broke up and sold the unix assets to Caldera.
Ignorant or inconsiderate of the fact that in that amount of time many
people build up lots of clients running that OS, many of which are still
running boxes installed since long before SCO became bad guys.
Ignorant or inconsiderate of the fact that even today that crappy nasty old
SCO os is still a better choice for lots of situations than anything else
available today.
Ignorant of the fact that some day when you are in a jam and need help,
someone else may say "let him rot, that stupid rehdat user...". Heck I'd say
that today in your case, now that you've advertised how much you appreciate
and value altruism.

Sure, I don't install any new SCO boxes either, but I'm not ignorant of the
fact that the universe is bigger than my experience.
