    Yep; I've been in computing since late 1977...before Microsoft, for
example, wiring up Z80's in my bedroom until the wee hours. Computing
was FUN then; you owned your box- no one was trying their best to run
things on it to make you send spam, viruses, that sort of trash. And
when there was a bug, it was a bug- not a charade to make you pay more.

    Linux brings a lot from Unix; not just the code, but the culture,
too. Never forget that every "wizard" started out as a noob. And
Unix/Linux reminds each and every one of us that we were once there.
Don't feel bad- Linux is a really big place; it takes time to know your
way around.  The fact that we're discussing this on a free forum
dedicated to making things easier for us all is just one example.

    Happy computing!
