An important thing to teach in the book would be how to research a problem they find. Not like troubleshooting but something along the vein of "I need a program that does X and want to find out what my options are" If you give a reader the tools to find open source/free software as well as the pay to play alternatives and weight the pros and cons of each, that would be useful in such a book. Or say they want to share photos with friends how does a non-alpha-geek evaluate the current offerings or even find the current offerings.
Keep in mind that the people making these decisions are experts and they think long and hard.....they deeply investigate.....they probe into the meat of the subject.....they do studies and research and find insight where as we (the uninformed) can't possibly understand the undeniable logic of this action. I think we should launch many more 'preemptive strikes' in the defense of 'our children' and simply not allow them to leave the home anymore. I mean with west nile virus, mad cow, mad korean, mad Madmartigan, and mad Republican on the loose who knows where danger could come from next.
