That's the bit where advising a user is folloed by
How do I copy and paste?
or
What's a terminal?
Interesting? Ever done user-support?

Passenger: I've had enough. I am going to jump.
tomas: Can you swim?
Passenger: No.
tomas: You will drown, but I will throw you a lifebuoy.
Passenger: Will that help?
tomas: Not really. We are in Artic waters. You will succumb to
hypothermia within minites.
Passenger: Can you help to alleviate that?
tomas: Hold on 10 minutes; I'll get you a duvet.
Passenger: That is very civil of you. Will it keep me alive?
tomas: For a time. But I'll be cold tonight! Don't forget; it's
my duvet.
Passenge: Does the duvet have the Debian logo on it?
tomas: No, just roses.
Passenge: Do you think you could get one with a petunia pattern?
tomas: This boat does not support such patterns.
Passenge: When I sailed with the Gentoo line they ofered all
flower patterns.
tomas: The packages they offer to users are different.
Passenger: I wish I had used the default method to connect via
WiFi to my Debian machine. I am doomed!

[ tomas wonders whether a more proactive stance could have put
the situation on a more even keel.]
