I think you are touching the crux of why we like em.  Very friendly, easy to
use.  

When I got mine it replaced a coco because it was kid proof.  My kids kept
blowing fuses by trying to reboot when they shouldn't.  But an apple is just
hard to kill.

It doesn't take a newbie to understand what you are talking about.  Yes I still
use mine at work for light word processing, small mail merges.  But we all have
some characteristics of hobbiests at this stage.
