cimoreneOne of our Finnish teachers uses IE. And she's the more computer-skilled of them. (Neither one of them can remember how to scale up text size, either on webpages or in Word. Literally every time somebody in our class asks someone to enlarge text, whoever is teaching has to be told how to do it. Several times.)
Anyway, so the teacher who hates computers was trying to show us how to walk from the bus stop to the public ice rink, and she was in Google maps dragging the little point of view figure who opens street view. She kept dragging the little person in different directions, quite far away from the destination, and zooming in and out in map view without any appreciable effect, for like five minutes. Various people were shouting out theories for why it wouldn't work, and suggestions like restart the computer, or the browser, or maybe the mouse is broken, when suddenly and apparently miraculously a photo of the ice rink appeared!
"OH!" gasped the teacher. "You have to DOUBLE-click!"
(I teared up with laughter and had trouble gasping, "All that time you weren't double-clicking?")
