I vote for:
require 'watir'
include Watir (it's magic anyway, it won't hurt)
ie = IE.new (let people see a blank browser)
ie.goto("http://www.google.com ")
Show people the steps and show them later how to abbreviate it with a small
explanation of the Ruby idiom. It's also important to explain each line. What,
I believe, it will result in is a deeper understanding as opposed to just
knowing how to do tasks with canned food. A problem I have as a relative
latecomer to programming is that I know how to do certain things, but not why.
It makes problem solving difficult.
My 2 cents.

You don't drink the whole beer at once, right? You iterate until it is done. :)
If it were me, I would have done
require 'watir'
include Watir (it's magic anyway, it won't hurt)
ie = IE.new (let people see a blank browser)
ie.goto(" http://www.google.com <http://www.google.com> ")
My line of thought is to have as many steps as possible. As you said, at this
point everything is magic anyway. What I would like is to hear from people that
just started using Watir.
Is this
require 'watir'
include Watir (it's magic anyway, it won't hurt)
ie = IE.new (let people see a blank browser)
ie.goto("http://www.google.com ")
more clear than this?
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.start("http://www.google.com/";)
