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.
