I don't think this will work for "not computer people".
It's like that famous AI koan where Tom Knight (of Lisp Machine fame) finds a novice trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by power-cycling it, and berates them, explaining that you can't fix a Lisp machine simply by turning it off and on with no understanding of what is going wrong. He then turns the machine off and on, and it works.
Done that. There have been numerous occasions when someone has called me over, said "It doesn't work. See, when I press this button it goes....oh. It's working now."
