Ages ago, when I worked for the Army, my division chief sent me to a class. “You could probably teach it,” he told me, “but if I don’t send someone now, when the class comes around again and I really need to send someone, they may not keep the slot for us.” The class turned out to be a history of automated data processing. But the teacher was totally jaded and started out with a disclaimer that it was a history class and had nothing to do with teaching you how to use a PC (which were just entering the workplace in force then), “and yet the most common comment I get on the evaluations is, ‘I spent three days in this class and I still don’t know how to turn on my d@mn computer.’ So watch carefully: This is your d@mn computer. The d@mn power switch in back here on the right side of the case. Pull the d@mn switch up to turn it on; push the d@mn switch down to turn it off. That’s how you turn on your d@mn computer; let’s get on with the d@mn class.” All downhill from there for three days, folks.
