The problem or is it a problem, I'm 49 and can maneuver around sites, but have limited ability or little knowledge about software. Where do I begin, there seems to be alot of info out there, and it's tough to follow. Can anyone guide me to start the learning process?

A new-comer should be directed to Python. It is real and it is fun.
I have never seen a powerful yet easy language like this. One can almost learn the basic in a weekend.
1.Go to http://python.org/
2. Download Python for you platform (most GNU/Linux Distros have it pre-installed)
3. Start reading the official Tutorial http://docs.python.org/tutorial/
