Let me assure you, yes, they are. You would not believe some of the
questions I've been asked.

Most recent example - on a plane trip, person sitting next to me wants
to know how much a new laptop should cost. I mention that mine was
pretty high end, and was about 6K. He asked me how much it cost. I said,
6K. He finally understood that I didn't mean 6KB RAM or 6KB disk or
whatever the hell he thought I meant.

There are people who "lose" applications when they get deiconified, even
with the Win95 interface that leaves the icon thingie on the start bar.

Etc.
