Nobody said it would be- that's what makes intelligence different to animal reaction! The willingness to learn is everything. Taking on and learning something new has to have a degree of difficulty probably directly related to one's ability, experience, and education.

The great thing is that the rewards of so doing are in the same proportion.

All I have learned, often with difficulty, would, perhaps, not impress the more erudite (in computers and/or Linux) on this list, but it is mine, and I have never had cause to regret learning, or reason to criticise those on this list and others, who have helped me.

Enjoy being a newbie (you won't be for long)- as was once said, Albert Einstein would appear unintelligent in a conference of biologists. He would, however, have taken the opportunity, time and effort to learn- it will be fun for you too.

"A little learning is a dangerous thing" - but how much is safe?
