What do you think I was doing for four freakin' weeks? I read every
book I could find, every "tutorial" I could download from the Web. I
emailed knowledgeable friends. I can't get the most basic, ordinary,

I do, however, seem to run into an inordinate number of people who
think I'm a loon because I can't pick all this up by osmosis.
