An important thing to teach in the book would be how to research a problem they find. Not like troubleshooting but something along the vein of "I need a program that does X and want to find out what my options are" If you give a reader the tools to find open source/free software as well as the pay to play alternatives and weight the pros and cons of each, that would be useful in such a book. Or say they want to share photos with friends how does a non-alpha-geek evaluate the current offerings or even find the current offerings.
