Yeah, :-), BUT there are people out there that um um "ignorant"? Yeah, that's
the term I think. :) Alot of program developers just don't realize that they
are designing software that will often NOT be used by terribly sharp people.

You have to remember that these computers are already "black magic" for the
masses. How should they know that mashing Ctrl-F3 during bootup is rather
unusual? The whole computer is rather unusual eh what? :)

And if the dealer says "You mash Ctrl-F3 during bootup so you can run software
like Skyfox" then there will be those users that take that to mean :mash it all
the time".
