[common] A person who is religiously attached to a particular
computer, language, operating system, editor, or other tool (see
{religious issues}). Usually found with a specifier; thus, Cray
bigot, ITS bigot, APL bigot, VMS bigot, Berkeley bigot. Real bigots
can be distinguished from mere partisans or zealots by the fact that
they refuse to learn alternatives even when the march of time and/or
technology is threatening to obsolete the favored tool. It is truly
said "You can tell a bigot, but you can't tell him much." Compare
{weenie}, {Amiga Persecution Complex}.
