I'm not sure what you are asking, but as a matter of fact I invested nothing in learning how to use Windows; it was mostly trial and error. Not until much later, when I had to administer Windows NT, did I look anything up, but no more so than I am doing now on FreeBSD. > You did do a lot of reading. No, I did not.

When I first starting using Windows, it did not provide anything even close to Internet access.
