[QUOTE="technologist, post: 1224927, member: 4134"] I think this is a great way to think about it. And for what it's worth, I think it applies to the Mac as well. Those of us who are used to the Mac are often (on this very forum!) surprised at how hard "simple" things can be for people who are not experienced with computers, or are accustomed to Windows. I believe that the Mac, like decimalized currency, is more intuitive than the alternatives. But that does not mean it's intuitive in and of itself. For that matter, why do we have dollars (or euros) and cents? The Japanese get along fine with just the Yen. Similarly, there are many things about the Mac that are complex, and Apple has, of late, been adding layers of complexity rather than removing them. [/QUOTE]
