for the rest of us

for the rest of us adj.  [from the Mac slogan "The computer
   for the rest of us"] 1. Used to describe a {spiffy} product
   whose affordability shames other comparable products, or (more
   often) used sarcastically to describe {spiffy} but very
   overpriced products.  2. Describes a program with a limited
   interface, deliberately limited capabilities, non-orthogonality,
   inability to compose primitives, or any other limitation designed
   to not `confuse' a naive user.  This places an upper bound on
   how far that user can go before the program begins to get in the
   way of the task instead of helping accomplish it.  Used in
   reference to Macintosh software which doesn't provide obvious
   capabilities because it is thought that the poor lusers might not
   be able to handle them.  Becomes `the rest of *them*' when
   used in third-party reference; thus, "Yes, it is an attractive
   program, but it's designed for The Rest Of Them" means a program
   that superficially looks neat but has no depth beyond the surface
   flash.  See also {WIMP environment}, {Macintrash},
   {point-and-drool interface}, {user-friendly}.
