        I would imagine that most of the Mac users on this list
probably know a bit more about the inner machine than the average
user though, but that would also go for the PC users on this list as
well. My experience is that the average user doesn't really care
what makes the machine work...they just want to be able to turn it on
and play Solitare or whatever.....
