Briefly, a former systems administrator , aspiring to be a tattoo artist, went to work as a floor guy in the tattoo shop. He began to manage the computer system in the shop. We became friends and he introduced me to Linux. He took care of the computer system at the shop and helped me out with my home PC.

He decided that tattooing wasn't a viable option and he quit. We are still friends but now that he is not working in the shop I became familiar with the term RTFM. When I have a PC problem and ask for help that is the usual response.

I only became computer literate, to the extent that I am, through the system in the tattoo shop beginning in 1999. I have learned what I needed as I have had to and up until now word programs weren't something I needed. I have a program called Open Office which I will try and adapt to the honing log. Now that I am used to Linux with Ubuntu at home and Mint at work I wouldn't run Windows unless I had no alternative.
