Back to the orig topic...
No, you're not the only one. See, I started out just like you. I didn't know shit. I knew you could mod your Xbox and play backups. I knew nothing of everything else. I didn't know anything else. I stumbled on to this site searching from Google. Hung out in the forums waiting for my Matrix. (I ordered the day before there release and had to wait a while to get it) I'm in here ever day answering all types of questions. Some of them are questions that have been asked a thousand times, other answered from experience in other things.
But, the point is, anyone can do this. With a little patients and willingness to read.
