Yep. I have several store managers who literally cannot read error messages off the screen for me, because "That's computer stuff, and I don't know anything about computer stuff." These people are resonsible for several million dollars a year in company revenue. (They're good managers, though.)

Yeah, most tech support calls are the result of bad design, bad manufacturing, or bad attitude. But not all.
