The best way to conquer the beast is to wrestle with it -just like you are doing. If all you do is surf or check email, when things get more complicated stuff will get sticky very quickly -and just as quickly you'll figger stuff out. It's kind of like a VW in that regard, you learn by doing. When you spend an hour dealing with a simple problem, next time you'll know. Also there's lots of forums out there. As an aside unfortunately by using windows you are also financially supporting the richest man in the world, according to Forbes. If anybody wants an unauthorised version, let me know. ;)
