:4.  MacOS - look at screen

and then? I remeber a person who sat totally confused infront of the Mac
until she said:
"There's something wrong with this computer. There's no window with
thing inside. Just an empty screen."
You can't even expect people to know that they should double click on
the hardrive icon. So, a completely novice need help to get started
with any computer, even MacOS. Do you believe such person would know
how to create a new folder, or rename it, move it, delete it?
No! So when you spend your time learning a complete novice these
things do other learn some other novice 'dir', 'ls', 'mkdir' or
other things, such as ejecting a floppy. Sorry, but a GUI is not
perfect either, but it can help after after 30 minutes introduction.
