I think I need to go get a "Linux for Dummies" book or something. I
frequently feel like the lady saying "the oil light is on" with our tech
stuff. I can't help but think I'd be a whole lot happier if I at least
had a working knowledge of Java, Linux, Visual Basic, etc. And
apparently Python too. I took a C class in college eons ago. How that
qualified me to be our interface with IT I have no idea, but I'd at
least like to understand this stuff better.
