And you will get a lot of satisfaction from that. You could use Windows for years and be a "power user" and still run up against a problem that make no sense and that there is no solution for. I'd suggest that you stick with it. Ask lots of questions. Buy a book or two. A couple of years down the road you will really have something and it will be something to be proud of. A new user will mention a problem they're having and you'll think, "I ran across that." Then you'll be the one who say, "Here's what you need to do."
