Well said, Adam. 
About 4 years ago I was contemplating a MAC. I 
was at the local sales/repair shop and asked to see
it's DOS. All I saw was icons! "How do I get into it?" 
"You don't", was the reply. "But how do I write script or change stacks?" 
"You don't. That's what we're here for." 
Neither the machine, the limited software, or their hourly rate was cheap!
