    And you don't have to be a very good typist to be good at it, either. ;)

    Seriously, the water's fine, come on in. I've been around this UNIX
    thing for quite a while and have enjoyed most minutes of it. I took my
    formative years not as frustration, but as a "learning" experience. It
    helped, too, that I had a really anal SOB for a teacher when I first
    started learning. We spent weeks doing nothing but Regular Expressions
    in vi and sed. Nothing regular about them!

    I didn't have the "pleasure" of learning computers on a Windows system,
    so UNIX (and Macs) seems more natural to me than anything coming out of
    Redmond. Windows, now *that's* frustrating!
