Right, nothing, I admit. Perhaps I should adjust my attitude when
talking aobut OSs (it has put me into trouble despite my will to be
objective and neutral). I have no idea how text-based newsreaders deal
with images, probably like Lynx (i.e. decode, save and launch an
external app.) and can't really help the users of such software.

Three years ago, everyone here in Bulgaria did (PCs are cheaper than
Macs, have more software available as warez, the OS is easily
pirateable etc.) Now the share of Linux is so great that I am the last
person in the world thinking that everyone is MS-compatible. Offices,
game clubs, and home computers of middle-aged people are the only true
MS-only machines. Art schools use Macs, other schools use Linux and
most people have dual-boot machines.
