Next week I am taking some required training on how to use a particular piece of software. This training is mandatory before you are allowed to make edits in the software. I present to you the prerequisite computer skills for this training, which reinforce the un-necessity of the training...

etc...
Anyway, what event caused this checklist to be added in the first place? I can't imagine any situation that resulted in somebody saying "Gee, we better make sure they can click the mouse and push the up key."
And now for your semi-regular dry erase board art piece...
