Everybody has to start somewhere.
The O.P. did quite well, considering only having had a few weeks of *nix experience.
At least, he didn't ask us how to push the reset button
Okay, after looking at the definition again, I have to agree. I ammended my post. I guess "newbie" is more appropriate. My peers tend to use harsher terms like PEBKAC in a humorous manner between ourselves, usually to denote errors caused by not enough sleep or not enough caffeine. I agree -- orbiting did figure it out rather quickly with a little push in the right direction.

Good job orbiting! (No harm intended).

Pejorative terms are often used in a humorous manner between myself and my peers, and we all know that no harm is intended, but I need to be careful in a mutli-cultural public forum like this though.
