Excellent! Very succinct summary of my typical thought processes when helping others. Wide adoption of this chart may decimate many IT departments....<p>Although it may need an extra point right at the "START" - if no "start" then check power supply - solution to a "computer problem" I had to fix this morning!<p>I wonder if this somewhat captures a hacker's thought process, and if this is significantly different to "Not Computer People"

Pretty accurate. It just misses the part where I read the manual (if it's available).

This is something I would like to show to any one who thinks they are "not a computer guy".
