Computers

Feeling very "full of myself" learning to post pictures (thank you Diane and Tim too) and reading Ellie's questions about forwarding pictures in email.....got me to wondering.
For those of you that "know your way around a computer" - how did you learn? Did you take classes, learn at work, or just by mucking around (like me) and trying desperately to learn from internet buddies?
Sometimes, I think I want to go take some classes.....but I don't really want to learn the "important" stuff - like "Word". Something that I could actually use on a job! I just want to do the tricks!
Guess I am like a young person that wants to be a tennis star with out learning the rudimentary skills of the game.
