john: well damn your example is a bit more hardcore. Mine was just about using Windows which is as simple as it can get besides a Mac of course.

hey, when you’re teaching your sister to use Linux, it’s sort of the same thing. Then she complains why it is so different, and wants to go back to Windows.

Tabbing in the commandline, different displays, window managers, passing kernel options …

Now, she uses Linux all the time.

Using a computer is sort of like speaking a sublanguage … different mode of interaction.

“To start computer, press any key”
Homer Simpson – “Any key? Where’s the any key?” (looks for key)
Homer Simpson – “All this work is making me thirsty, i need a tab” (press tab key)
Homer Simpson – “No time to drink now, computer has started!”
One of my favourite Simpsons lines from the episode where Homer becomes obese to get out of work and has to use a computer from home. sounds like some people really ARE that dumb. I am pretty technically stupid myself, so it’s nice to know there are people out there who know a whole lot less than I do!
