Modifications are > almost always to text files. I never said they were. I simply said Linux is complicated and that different people learn in different ways. I'm not sure if my mind can ever be able to grasp programming however Linux, given time, and allowed to learn the way as I, as an individual who's mind works and learns differently from other individuals (as is the case with most people), I am certian that I will eventually be able to learn Linux as well as I currently know DOS and Windows. People learn in different ways. Things like TS (such as myself), ADD, ADHD, and other disabilities (and even people without any disabilities at all) learn in their own way. Seeing as I have both TS and ADD, people with disabilities who insist they can't EVER learn this or that don't impress me because i've learned alot so I don't buy into that BS. It's just a pitty party as far as I'm concerned. However, if allowed to learn in the ways those people and people such as myself require -- it may take more time and different methods but I think anyone can learn just about (but not completely) everything. Aside from learning skill and mindset are also required. I do graphics design but I'll never be able to create a work of art. I am a musician but I don't expect everyone to be able to have that skills. I also could never read musical score. Well, i can but not in real time thats for damn sure. Takes my mind a practical eternity to translate properly. In concert band in high school, I played the Xylophone (piano of sorts using sticks and reeds as opposed to keys on a piano) by ear, sight and memorization. The musican score book in front of me was simply for show. I ignored it. I payed attention to the conductor and the knowledge in my hea dand I LISTENED for my queue based on the current point we were in with the song. So just because I can't read musical score does not mean I was unable to learn music. It just means I was required to learn it in a different way. I can play the piano (altho its been years since i could afford a keyboard for that so I'm sure i'm quite rusty) so most of my music has been via the Demoscene (Fasttracker2, Modplug Tracker and Skale Tracker). A Module Tracker syntax is much easier for me to follow because it uses a more simple syntax than musical score. Example: C#-4 017 C40 C Sharp to the 4th Octive, Insturment 17 at volume level 40. There are also effects codes, codes that regular music "speed" and "bpm". Musical Score is a PITA for me but "Tracking Code" is easy because for me, the syntax is simple. For some musicians, musical score might be easy and tracking code might elude them indefinately. Different strokes for different folks. > Being able to program in C/C++ is a big help if you want to create something > but that's not what you're talking about, is it?

You don't need to be a mad skillz 313373 programmer to contribute to The Scene or to Synchronet. You simply need ideas and creativity. > If you really want to, it can happen. Good Luck! Alot has happened because I've wanted it to and I pushed for it. I will continue to do so indefinately. -- .---------------------------------------------------------------. | [TiME WaRRiOR] aka [Dave Kelso] AIM: Twar782 | +o Malkavia BBS | | www : synchsupport.net - malkaviabbs.com - xpresit.net | | www$: josephsjewelersonline.com - preferedinsurance.com | | @: time.warrior@malkaviabbs. com | \______________________________________________________________/ --- Synchronet 3.12a-Win32 NewsLink 1.76 * Malkavia - Chicago, IL - telnet://malkaviabbs.com --- Synchronet 3.13b-Win32 NewsLink 1.83 .
