Where else?

I've been reading the text for 2600. My first impression is that the book is written for people who have never laid eyes on a computer. Is it really necessary to explain that, "you can purchase application software from a store that sells computer products"*? Where else would one buy software? The clothing store perhaps?

I shouldn't complain. Perhaps the simplicity of this text makes up for some of the more complicated assignments. And perhaps the remaining chapters are not so simple.

I'll let you know when I get there.
