I think that would be a pretty safe assumption. :) With the rise of digital imaging we're seeing more and more people bringing in a CD with 200+ images on it who have no idea which file numbers they want printed. "File number?" they say, with their eyebrows coming together and a confused look in their eyes. "But I can show you the ones I want if we go through them all." I generally give those people a hand, as it would take longer to explain what a file name is and how to find it than it would to just look through their files in the store.
