[QUOTE="Ctrl-Opt-Del, post: 1371883, member: 215112"] Well, although the first GUI-based computer I personally owned was a Windows 95 PC - before that I had a couple of oldskool home computers running various flavours of BASIC - I did use some friends' PCs with Windows 3.11 on them before that, and the method of launching apps on that OS was simply selecting the appropriate icon from a folder on the otherwise almost empty desktop! (Indeed, I remember finding myself struck by the sophistication of the GUI on one friend's Macintosh Performa running System 7! ;)) So, I find myself surprisingly familiar & comfortable with selecting apps from a grid-layout launcher screen such as found on OS X Lion / Mountain Lion and - to a slightly more contrived degree - Windows 8.
