As by now, (I'm sure), you've received many other insults and complaints, I won't add my two cents worth to that (even though I'd love to). I agree with an earlier posting which points the finger directly at Micro$oft. I too have worked with people who don't even know how to use a mouse properly. To try to have them read a manual, FAQ, etc., would be impossible. If you are really interested in learning how software and hardware interact, you will FIRST of all read all you can. If you still do not understand, THEN post your question to the appropriate newsgroup POLITELY and you may get a response. Be specific in asking. There are many experts here who like helping out newbies. (I have first-hand knowledge of that!) However, most of what I have learned has been found by reading man pages, FAQ's, books, and OLD NEWSGROUP ARCHIVES (hint-hint). If I still cannot find the answer to my problem after doing all that, THEN I ask for help here...NICELY. I've been in your shoes as well...very frustrated when first learning this OS. Just push back from your computer, take several deep breaths, (or one LONG break), and start at it again. If, on the other hand, you are one of those people who needs their hand held while they do everything (as someone else has mentioned), then you may be better off staying with Windbloz.
