It’s helpful to take a few steps back from time to time to reassess where we’re each coming from on our knowledge of tech (or anything) to better communicate.

    That if they use a Maf they’ll know what the Finder is. I was doing some support to help out new starters at a university and someone with a Mac came up whilst I was helping their friend so tried to help both and asked the Mad user to open the Finder (something I asumed they’d know how to do owning a Mac) but apparently they didn’t. I then lost faith in all Mac users and realised most of them have no idea what things are called and just use a Mac in willfull ignorance.

      Nothing to do with Mac, windows users can just as easily not know the explorer, I use the word “file browser” when that happens.
