Seriously though, I showed my girlfriend (a social worker) how to do alt-tab a couple of months ago and she was really pleased
Never underestimate the ignorance of the average user. When work was slack a few years ago my boss put together a team of "IT consultants" (aka our programmers) and sent them off to client departments in the organization to identify potential productivity gains. The vast majority were showing folks how to do cut n' paste using right mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts. For advanced users we showed them how to record a macro in MS Word/Excel.. It was so successful the boss got an award! Thankfully work picked up again and we got back to programming before the idea caught on too much! But it was weird being introduced as a "computer guru" just because you'd shown somebody how to hit Ctrl-X/C/V! -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
