Same here. For me its the GUI that is too hard to learn, and the
CLI that is easy and comfortable. But I was talking from the point
of view of the typical newbie user. Thats what they think.

The newbie users I saw didnt seemed to care. They said it was a
"small price to pay for an easy computer".

I wander what other reasons they have for not wanting to learn
even the few basic commands. Its one of the things that puzzle me.
I often volenteered to teach how to use DOS, and in the simplest way.
I even made a small course that will show how the DOS CLI is easy
to use even then the GUI. However most people I tried to to teach
just gave up somewhere in the middle or right in the start and
went back to Windows. A few ran Norton Commander since then, and
touched the command line itself only when it was to open multi-file
ARJ archives.
