The problem is simply the time to go through learning Unix. Most of the
students are innately familiar with Windows from high school and home.

make the transition easier. I have to explain to them that the direction
of the slashes in web site addresses reveals the use of Unix. They only
see Windows and are not even aware of any issues involved.
