In your first sentence, you suggest that Linux does not appeal to competant geeks, whilst your second sentence appears to imply the opposite.

The difference is in the adjective, competent. I know dam' well you're competent. You are not average, but I don't think you represent a commercially viable market. I don't think you can find an insult there, but I don't think you can find much of an argument against my position of a suitably profitable market share, either. If someone wants to claim the market of the technical cognisenti, I have no problem with that. Most of my money came from systems you'd have no use for on your desktop. Nor could you have afforded them. What I'm saying is very simple and has no technical (rather, only a marketing) basis: don't bitch if you can't get Aunt Gertie because you can't handle her requirements, and don't bitch if the best of the UN*X systems whup your ass because you relied on amateurs to compete with pros.
