The target audience is new Ubuntu users.  I'm not going to assume that
attendees have any specific computer experience.  Those who do have
experience with another operating system might be familiar with the
concept of "drag and drop", "right click", etc; but not all of the
metaphors used by other operating systems will transfer exactly to an
Ubuntu desktop.

As such, I feel it's useful for new computer users as well as new Ubuntu
users who might have experience with other systems.

Cheers,
Scott
