I've never even heard of it. I not only have a unix account, but I slam VMS any chance I get. I've get the entire admin ticked off at me because I am always using all of the CPU time and trying to run programs that I don't have access to. I have a VMS account. I've seen unix and didn't like it.
Unix geeks are actually nerds in disguise.
All geeks have a varying amount of education. The company I work for was dumb enough to fund my way through a masters degree, then started paying me even more money. Achieved a Ph.D, have devoted my life to insignificant research, which my employer pays dearly for. I play air-guitar better than anyone else. Geeks come in many shapes and sizes.
