Yeesh! Every Macintosh sold since its introduction has included a guided tour
of the Macintosh. How to use the mouse and the basic concepts of its 
interface. They taught you how to use the mouse to select, click, double click
etc. They still do this! The only difference is that you don't get the 
cassette tape with the neat windham hill music in the background.

So hold off your bashing if you haven't been thru the guided tour! Apple wants
people to do the tour first to introduce the concepts. They have never claimed
you just boot up and go without EVER reading or doing ANYTHING to familiarize
oneself with the machine.

The power of the Mac interface is that IF a Mac application follows the 
interface guidelines it will act in a manner similar to other Mac applications
in performing the SAME functions (like opening a new file, saving, copying
pasting, printing or quitting!).
