While I now laff at the situation, the first time I installed software on an OS X Mac, I spent a good ten minutes staring at the crazy "A" and the arrow. I clicked left and clicked right (yeah - hackintosh) and did everything my little ol' gray cells could come up with. Finally I asked my best friend, Google. She said, It's drag an' drop silly!
Was I making it too complicated? Was my previous "training" making it hard? Occasionally I'd rather be in command myself so I can take it one step at a time.
