Of course it should be the same. Keeping on top of computer issues is a prerequisite for successful business for any photographer. But it's a beancounter's argument. Any person interested in saving his or her memories of such a trip would be a lot better off with some general computer understanding. Besides, people use their computers for more purposes than just image storage/processing, and a little understanding really goes a long way. Both with regards to file management, backup and online security. Many users don't want to spend time learning how to use a computer; they just want it to do what they imagine it can do for them. I guess Apple marketing has been successful playing up to this dream, and thus attract many users that just can't be bothered. Doesn't say a thing about the quality of the system, of course. But Apple will eventually find itself in trouble if they don't deliver to this group.
