This is a pretty fun submission. I like peering into the lives of computer users that don't have the level of computer literacy I'm used to day to day. It's a good reminder.

> This answer is not helpful. There is no start button.

Because it's just a little windows icon now - easy to forget that that doesn't just make sense to some people.

> Thank you, Brian- I would surely never have looked there, for anything, never mind notepad! It is on my start box now.

Some people just haven't/won't learned the grammar and vocabulary of computer literacy. I think this person means "start menu?" But it looks like a box to them so that's how they described it.

A while ago there was an article where a woman was trying to user testing in a mall and instead found an old guy who had literally never touched a computer. Reading that experience was fascinating.
