It is definitely not an easy thing.

My wife is taking an online course in basic HTML. Simple?  Try 
explaining it to someone who doesn't have even the conceptual framework 
to understand the Windows folders metaphor.  My wife found herself 
flailing helplessly on the first "Hello World" lesson until I threw her 
a life line, (metaphorically speaking.)  Of course the 
intructor/composer of the course studded his lesson with frequent 
incantations and admonishments to "Follow the instructions EXACTLY." 
But what that really means is: "Follow the instructions EXACTLY, except 
for when they are not very EXACT."

Kudos for you for taking Warp's critique to heart, and kudos to Warp, as 
you said, for taking the time.
