Being a programmer, I regularly come across this level of intellegence in
clients. When I tell them to print they ask "how?" <sarcasm> oh, not that
there's a big button on the form with a picture of a printer on it or
anything like that to help them </sarcasm>

Also, after getting new users onto 95/98/NT4 they see Windows booted,
nothing on the screen apart from a button marked "Start", you know the next
question "Where do I start?"
