Some quick comments

1. Mouse use - available in DOS without GUI before windows.

2. Re: Nancy's comments about books and writers - Have any of you tried to write
a usable user manual for your app?
   Do you create user friendly help screens?

When someone asks me what book they should buy, I usually tell them to think of
something they are trying to do, goto the bookstore and find the books on that
program/topic.  Find the section on their topic, read each book and see which
one they understand the best and buy that book.  I have also told them that they
may need more then one book as other topics may be covered better in other
books.

Yes, people are smarter then we give them credit for once they get over their
fear.  You can, over a period of time, teach most users to use their computers
more efficiently.  However, some will change reluctantly.  I have one client
whose clerical person continued to close done each app after using it before
opening another,  This is in Windows.  I finally broke her of that habit when I
showed her how to cut and paste between fp and WordPerfect.
