It's like anything else techinal or quasi-techical. Several weeks ago, for instance, I was determined to figure out the fine details of using my VCR... and after about 75 minutes of study I had the masses of buttons and knobs figured out. (Yeah, lots of cussing along the way... !) Same thing with Berkeley Unix. The journey never ends because the path keeps changing: improving, being smoothed out, made ever more stable. But then the journey is the thing. And it's enjoyable. Yes, there is a gotcha: this journey demands perseverance. Given that, you can go as far as you want to.
