I wasn't talking about things I'd consider "advanced".  I'm talking
about people who can't mash a few keys, click "save", and maybe even

How do you figure that?  When I start up Word, Abiword of KWord, I get
a window that shows me what looks like a piece of papers.  I start 
mashing keys, and look at that!  Letters, numbers and symbols start 
appearing..  How is that not like a typewriter?
