Ya know we could write a very humorous book on all our experiences with end-users. But it would probably not sell because the only ones that would appreciate it would be all of us developers, geeks, and computer nerds. Ellen (elsewhere on this particular thread) hit me with a good one as well with her "WinZip is beyond the abilities of most of my users...." quip.
