I wonder why there are none of Stanislav Lem's novels on the list. He "invented" a lot of stuff which is realised/implemented in computer science laboratories nowadays.
This nice little lad is even harder to bear in the German version of MS Office. The translators named him "Karl Klammer" -- that is really horrible (if you don't understand German: Imagine him with a name like "Paul Paperclip").
I made the experience that more than one mouse button is really confusing for computer newbies. My girlfriends father (56 years old) started using computers in July 2004 and has still got problems with his two mouse buttons. He sometimes doesn't know which button to click. Another problem he has is the doubleclick.
So this is nothing to laugh about, some folks really have these problems.
The Mac Mini will be a perfect X-Terminal to use with a Linux box in another room. You'll have a silent and small box on your desk and the fat and loud server is down in the basement. Great.
