Always a Newbie

New technology tools constantly make me a newbie.  Even technology that is easy to figure out make me have questions that I cannot answer right away.

According to Wikipedia… Newbie (also said as nooby or newby) is a slang term for a newcomer…  a somewhat clueless newcomer… It can have derogatory connotations, but is also often used for descriptive purposes only, without a value judgment.

I just got a new blackberry device (I use to have one of the older models way back when).  So I am “getting up to speed” on it.

I wanted to try to figure it our myself, so I did not ask for help, did not read the book and did not go online.  I wanted to see what an unassisted newbie felt like. I quickly figured out most of the functions, but eventually ended up asking on others.

What did I learn from trying to figure out my new device (and from other things)

All of this means that the CAD Manager needs to be patient and helpful to newbies.  Kind of a no brainer, but a good reminder anyway.
