You just answered a question for me. Then today, I find this and I think you may be closer to the truth with this article than you think:

“Are we assuming users know something that they really don’t know (“it’s common sense!”)?

I don’t know that you guys are making that assumption. I have found most of your advice to be pretty realistic and usable. However, the hardware makers are a completely different story. I get the feeling that they believe that everyone knows the same things they know about computers! Sorta leaves the older generation out in the cold when they do that…..

I have not found any problems with your software; however, I have found large problems with hardware and the OS software they use.
