It IS?

I need something that is simple to explain. My parents are both well into
their 50s and need the easiest, most painfully obvious explanations when it
comes to using the computer. Example 1: push the big button to turn it on;
wait until the little light stops flashing (all is loaded), and then double
click on the "Outlook Express" icon; wait, and the e-mail will be there.
Example 2: if the machine is making noise (fan), then it is on.

Do you think dad gives me lunch money? No, no. He gives me juice in a
carton, and expects me to eat at home upon my return from school. (I'm used
to it, so it's cool, but I just wanted to make the point about how that
won't increase my wealth one bit.) Besides, a friend has convinced me to go
with SuSE 6.2. He hails it as THE distribution of Linux, and he's got me
hooked. I'll be installing it with his help within the next couple of weeks.
