Dear Janina,

     I apologize for being so late in replying to a Wednesday 
message.  Unfortunately, I have been hospitalized for several 
days and only got home yesterday.

     I feel your comment about Teddy not liking to think was 
both unfair and flat out wrong.  Anyone who could attain such a 
good grasp of English without residing in an English speaking 
country for a sustained period of time is obviously very 
intelligent and has no doubt studied and practiced quite a lot.

     I too cannot make head nor tail of man pages and it 
doesn't mean that I am stupid.  It will take me years to master 
linux with the help of friends and I hope I am successful.  
Meanwhile, I hope I will soon master the specific area which 
are going to enrich my life immeasurably.

     I find it just as annoying as othrs when people post 
extensively about Windows.  I have no desire to learn it no 
matter what, even if I am jobless.  However, people are 
different.  I think blind people must be very good at 
conceptualizing, which I would call a form of thinking, to be 
able to grasp the visual concepts necessary to transform 
Windows from an incomprehensible jumble into something which 
makes sense.
