On what basis can you make such an assumption? It's completely ludicrous. I used to manage Solaris machines in a manufacturing lab full of technicians who used a Solaris workstation to do their job, but didn't know the first thing about programming. Some of them read their mail on those Solaris machines. There were about 50 of them. I seriously doubt my shop was the only one on the planet.
