+1 I was flummoxed my first 20 minutes with Sugar a year ago (How do I save/retrieve a file?) Actually, I was also flummoxed in 1986 when I first used a Mac (How do I get a directory listing? Where's the CLI?) And in 1982 when I first used a PC (What am I supposed to type at this prompt?) But - I was *not* when I used my very first computer, a colorful Commodore VIC-20 which booted directly into BASIC. That's because the machine came with perhaps the friendliest little blue beginner's manual I have ever used (sample: 'Hit the "Return" key a couple of times to clear it out').
