I find most mudders are either early adopters of the Internet (or even ARPAnet) remembering the days before www

or like myself are fairly computer geeky and are just as happy in the world of CLI as a gui

basically its those who allready know what telnet is and how to use it who are most likly to mud..

recently this has been proving less true with the advent of java clients on many muds websites (i wish that these clients were a little better than raw telnet, even just an input line IM style would be a vast improvement)
and i have found when helping these people that they dont actually know what a mud client is! or how to use one,
quite a few times when i have introduced them too one they comment on it being much easier to use
