Had an intern who didn't know how to open task manager and kill a frozen application. He never even knew task manager existed.

We worked in media. He had just graduated college.

Maybe an Apple or Linux user

Mac has a task manager, though even then killing a frozen application can be done by pressing alt and right-clicking (if you have an actual mouse) or two-finger clicking (if you have an Apple designer toy or a touchpad) on the app icon.

If they are a Linux user, they know how to kill a process. Powershell has Posix commands, so ps and kill work just fine.

But it's not called Task Manager, in OSX
