Thanks. In reality, there's nothing new under the sun. By that I mean that all 
computer systems do pretty much the same things; they just do them in slightly 
different ways and use different terminology.

I've been in this business for more than thirty years, working on everything 
from mainframes to PC's to DEC minicomputers in the seventies and a couple of 
specialized dedicated processors. This gives one a perspective  about these 
things. I have the advantage over a kid fresh out of college in that I don't 
have to learn the underlying concepts. I just need to learn the terminology and 
some of the basic commands. I usually know WHAT I want to do; I just need a 
little help in HOW to do it.

Richard answered the question, but I wanted to note that you seem to be 
catching on pretty quickly.  It may not seem like it right now, but I get the 
impression you're going to be doing alright in the not too distant future.
