From "Access 2007 for Dummies" by Alan Simpson (one of my favorite computer book writers), Margaret Levine Young, and Alison Barrows:
Despite the fact that the word “Dummies” is clearly emblazoned on this book’s cover and elsewhere, we don’t presume that you’re the junior partner in a ventriloquist act. (The machine you’re working with, yes. You, no.) We do assume that you already know how to do some things, such as turn on your computer and click and double-click things with your mouse. Maybe type with at least one finger.
