Here is a true story... (name changed to protect the innocent.)
I was showing a friend, let's call her Ditsy, my MacBook and how it works. Ditsy only has experience with PC computers but is aware of products like iPods, iPhones, iPads... yada yada.
I start with the basics. Here is the "dock" and here is the "finder"... instead of going to the "start" button come here... "close/minimize/maximize" are on the other side of the window... two fingers on the track pad will scroll...
So then it was Ditsy's turn to do some navigation. "Okay," I say "why don't you select the 'links' folder on the desktop."
And she does this...
Sigh. "Okay, it's not a touchscreen... so you have to click on it with the pointer." We both got a huge giggle... touch screen is the way she has interacted with all other Apple devices.
"Then why is your screen so dirty?"... she does have a point.
I would like to mention that "Ditzy" can do crazy amazing things with Excel and is very computer savvy. I just don't have a touch screen...
