RE: Testing & A Suggestion :)

[David Grega <webmaster overtech zzn com>]

I've had to do some training myself - I just say to the novices: "Don't 
worry about what the right mouse button does, you will not need to use it 
right now".  That of course is in windows.  Sad part is that with GNome, 
some things traditionally reserved for right clicks are now left clicks and 
that can be used to some people that have used Windows 9x forever.

I do Windows training -- no, most people don't understand Windows when they 
first see
it.  They understand it through their friends' or co-workers using it, but 
the average
person I've done training for in their homes does not 'get it'.  One thing 
these people
really don't get -- left / mid / right clicking.  Apple got that one right 
(hate to say
it).
