You have to look around the normal office
Take a look and see how the others compute.
In our work place we have 3 people who are self confessed computer illiterates.
As long as they know email and are comfortable with our 1984 Unix software then that's all that matters.

It's the little things, like Open Office takes a tad too long to open and get going so we stick with MS Word. Even if it's the 2003 version!

It will always be the liitle things, like why we use Outlook instead of Thnderbird, and so on
