Old Guy's Question About "Reasonable" Computer Knowledge I'm 50 and feel that I know very little about computers.  Whenever I look at an Error Log, or can't find how to shut something down via my Activity Log, I feel like a guy who doesn't know how to do basic car or home repair.  Is that an unreasonable view?  Should reasonably intelligent people be able to view an Error Log with some degree of understanding?  Or is that something that even computer experts find inpenetrable?  I have the same basic question about Activity Monitors.

If it is reasonable for me to start to understand those logs and monitors, where do I even begin to educate myself?
