You gotta look at the logic process of the newbie

Click OK to continue
<do I want to continue?  What's the alternative? Look for alternative.
ARRRRGHHH there is no alternative!  It's a trick question.  I'm missing
something here and if I click OK I'm going to kick myself for not spotting the
alternative.  Better have another look.  Nope definitely only one button.  Well
WTF ask me to make a decision if there is no alternative? Stupid computers, why
can't they make them simple to use.  Oh bugger it  I'll click it - if the whole
thing blows up it's not my fault - one last quick check - fingers crossed and>

*click*
