Hello,

Funny thing is that I recently saw how people struggling with simple
e-mail configuration (in Outlook Express), so I guess that generally
using computers for anything means a lot of learning. The more sophisticated
stuff you want to do the more is to learn. I am learning everyday tons of new things.
Learning can be fun if you have some "child's curiosity" left deep inside of you.
My little children inspire me to no end. If they only want to achieve something
they try over and over and over and over until they find the solution.
Sorry there is no "click one button and make billions" way. If there was, I guess that
the inventor of this button would save one and only copy for him/herself.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
