When I installed and set up Linux for my husband, the original technophobe, I
printed out a sheet of instructions which included things like "turn it on at
the socket on the wall. The socket has a red sticker on it." and "take out
your Wisden's and read it for a bit". I then gave him a run through. After
3 weeks, when he had not once asked for help, I commented on the fact, and he
said: "I don't have to. It just works." More recently he said: "Why do
people think that Linux is hard when it is so easy?"
