Ha, you're right. But there would still be a category of programs where just a powerbox would not be enough: programs that browse directories themselves, like image viewers. I learned my mom how to mount a CD or DVD with an icon on the desktop, and how to instruct the image viewer to go to /media/dvd. I also learned her how navigation in image viewer is related to navigation in the file manager. I think the problem here is losing the grasp of everything through a globale namespace (the VFS). But as I'm writing the problem with my mom and the image viewer, I'm wondering if the problem is not just having taken the habit to break POLA. Indeed, breaking POLA gives much flexibility, which came with great insecurity... Geez. I think there is a sort of jet lag in a paradigm shift like in a air trip.
