I think you are doing really good so far, you posted a post in the right place. Thats a great start. Just keep reading the various threads or topics.
Get comfortable using the "search" and "advanced search", they will be a time saver.
On the web in general you can learn alot just by using search engines to seek out any info you are intersted in. All major web portals have them,
www.yahoo.com,
www.google.com, etc.
Computers in general like to be rebooted sometimes, just turn it off and then turn it back on, especially after many days or hours of use, or if its really doing strange stuff. Always try to do a proper "shut down", whatever that might be for your particular computer. Directions are either in your manual or available thru online help. Good luck and happy camping!
