Well, I hope it's documented. At least there's a NETSCRAPE for DUMMIES book I
can give someone for Christmas. How difficult is it to learn this iCab? I
don't want to have to learn it in order to teach someone else. Is it pretty
intuitive? (that way I can answer questions on the phone and have some chance
of guessing right.)
