A point that's being missed here is that we take a lot of knowledge for granted.
How many of us have asked these questions and received these answers from newbie computer users:
Q: Who is your internet provider?:
A: Netscape (or Internet Explorer, take your pick).
Q: What browser are you using?:
A: Yahoo.
AOL caters to these newbie users, most of whom can barely use a computer.
I know one AOL user who types all papers into her email program. When I asked her why (she has MS Word), her response: "I don't know how to save"
Since her email program automatically saves her paper on exit, there's no motivation to "learn how to save".
