[DUG] Has Windows finished??

[Paul A Norman]

Is it possible that the User could be trained to look at the screen and when
major activity has stoped taking place they could start using the mouse?

Each time they sucessfully do this they could be given a TimTam or
something.

It is possible though that after this training, even just hearing the
Windows startup jingle could cause them to salivate.

Some fellow called Pavlova and Afghan biscuits or something comes to mind.
