yay! good job!
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook

Thanks.. I really wish I knew more about computers... because I would definitely help a lot of people out.

The way that I got started was just by reading the forums. Especially questions that have been solved already ... just read about the different types of problems people have, the types of questions the experts ask, and ultimately how the problem was resolved. Helps you learn neat little tidbits about computers while also improving your problem solving skills.

The quickest way to become 1337 is learn linux. I know this may sound biased but learning linux is _a lot_ easier than becoming a programming guru. You probably can learn linux in about ~2 months if you jump in the deep end. (aka use slackware, gentoo, arch, etc.) In the process of learning linux you will learn about operating system design, how to compile programs (and especially the kernel), how to troubleshoot effectively, networking, video cards, sound cards, cpu architecture, how to use regular expressions, and much much more. In fact you will inadvertently learn a programming language while your at it! Without even trying you will learn the fundamentals of bash and maybe lisp. (if you use a real editor that is ;-p) Incredibly you will also learn a bit about politics and law!
So if you want to be 1337 learn linux!
