Well put; this mailing list is, in itself, probably quite an atypical
group of people, to which to put such a question; thence, what
proportion of subscribers to this list, are limited to "typical uses"
of "typical home computers", if either such entities, exist?

Those concepts sound to me, to be as easiy understandable, and,
applicable, by normal (ah, now there's an equally abstract and
unobtainable entity) people, as what I saw recently in a program about
Steven Hawking's interpretation of the universe; being part of a
system involving ten (yes, the number that was specified, is ten)
dimensions.
