Master your computer

If Alexander the Great could conquer the known world by the time he was 18, you would think adults could conquer the bits of complexity contained in the taupe-colored boxes on their desks. Unfortunately, these ``bits of complexity'' aren't as simple as some people assume. Computing is the only profession in which a single mind is obliged to span the intellectual distance from a bit to a few hundred megabytes.
