I'm not sure what you are asking, but as a matter of fact I invested nothing in learning how to use Windows; it was mostly trial and error. Not until much later, when I had to administer Windows NT, did I look anything up, but no more so than I am doing now on FreeBSD. > You did do a lot of reading. No, I did not.

I just wish there were better resources for doing so. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
