I see you don't work in a computer lab with typical users day in day out ;).
In the lab were I work people just don't bother to read signs, insturctions,
manuals, anything. [not compleatly true about 5% of the people do all of the 
above.]  We have people who always ask how to cancel or do something when the
instructions are sitting on their screen.  We have had someone send 23 copies
of their paper to the laserprinter and want to know why there paper hasn't 
printed out on the Imagewriter yet.  The macintosh tells you several times
what printer your going to.  Sorry people who can't be botherd to at least
look at the instructions really irritate me, if their honestly confused after
reading the instructions thats a whole nother thing.  But most people don't 
want to read any instructions period.
