Hmm, I may have missed a step: How about a telephone? It's not a 
computer, but it sort of talks to one. How many people can't work a 
telephone?

(Working an iPhone is another matter, of course...)

Oh, I'm sure to this day lots of people write the PIN down and put it in 
their wallet somewhere. Then again, I hear in America people still hide 
their door keys under their doormat...
