   If a machine is directed at a naive audience, all the more reason to
include basic documentation about what errors are likely to happen.  There
are few things that are more frustrating than using a "friendly" computer
that works fine for a while, and then stopps, saying only "10", leaving the
user with no recourse.  Note that this is distinct from wanting to "program"
the machine--applications crash.
