Screen blacks out midway during boot

[Larry J. Maltin]

I can support that from my own experience with the lappie. Someone once 
said (approximately): we do not see what is there, we see from ourselves.

For example, I had a problem finding the shutdown command right in the center of the screen, because I expected to find it in a START button on the lower left.  And I admit I had some help solving this problem so I wasn't really alone in this.   I could have waited for help (this forum) instead of plowing ahead solving it by myself.   But I didn't, because of my impatience which is a cultural bias.  That's why I still maintain that the target audience for these laptops are groups of children with adult supervision, not persons with a previous windows background who expect too much.
