Not stupid, but yes, ignorant. What's more they're ignorant because they know that they can get away with being ignorant. For whatever reason, they don't like or they fear (I blame much of this on Microsoft) computers, and they've decided to use them only when they absolutely must and even then, only when they can do so with the smallest possible effort. Trying to make things on a computer easy enough for them is like pushing on a string: it will never be easy enough. If you add one button CD copying part of the OS, they'll demand DVDs. Add DVDs and they'll ask for something else. Soon, you'll have so many buttons that people will ask for classes in what all the buttons do. Not very simple!
