I should have made myself more clear:  I meant

  "*anyone* who *only* uses *nix systems in text mode"

as opposed to

 "*anyone* who uses at least one *nix system only in text mode"

as I also have several headless systems floating around the place, and a
laptop without X installed (hey, it runs vgaspect reasonably well).

And people who use Windows as their desktop environment don't count;
they're insufficiently dedicated :-)
