It's amazing to me how hard it is for some people to accomplish certain things. One of the things our supervisors at work constantly remind us of is that though these people may not be good at computers, chances are they're much better than us at something else. Which is true. In fact, this is how the first system of trade began: the barter system. I fix your car, you fix my computer. I landscape your yard, you pull my wisom tooth. Whatever.
But I wonder, do I really want someone operating on me who doesn't understand the difference between the right and left mouse buttons?

"Oh, I can't find the MISSILE LAUNCH ABORT button. It must not be there!"
On the other hand, this could all be a government conspiracy. Plausible deniability!
