I worked with a guy who ran the parts department at a marine dealership
I was involved with. He was computer illiterate but generally a pretty
smart guy. When the new owner introduced computers to the business, he
was all ready to learn, quite willing and picked it up quite quickly the
first day. At the end of the day he was shown how to turn off the
computer, which was no problem.

The next day he came in first and opened as usual and then proceeded to
try to figure out how the hell to turn the damn newfangled computer
thingy on...reasoning that since he had used the mouse to turn it OFF
then he should obviously use the mouse to turn it back ON.

He was more than a bit perplexed and flustered by the time help arrived
an hour later.

Happy Thanksgiving, dads...and everyone else too.
