Really? Here at UBC you can get a job "babysitting" in the Mac lab. Why
is that job needed?

I say that you need training to make _effective_ use of any system.  I
mentioned this before:  I've met Mac users who would use spaces for
alignment in a word processing document, type in page numbers by
hand and use repeated carriage returns to cause a page break. 
That's the intuitive thing to do for an utter newbie who refuses
to read the manual.

I think you have neither a credible identity nor a well thought-out argument.
