Something I learned, was actually forced to learn, is that you will be |
| 18 |
surprised at what you can do. My Dad died when I was fairly young. I |
| 19 |
learned that I can fix about anything because I was the only one around |
| 20 |
to fix it. I'm not talking about just computers either. Pipe leaks, |
| 21 |
got some new pipe and glue and go after it. The worst thing that can |
| 22 |
happen is that you still have a leak just somewhere else. lol Then |
| 23 |
you get to fix it again and learn even more. Want to get past the |
| 24 |
beginner stage, just jump in. I have never seen or heard of a kernel |
| 25 |
blowing up a computer. If it doesn't work right, build another one. |

Rinse and repeat until you smile real big. :-D |
