Then you are unusual :)

NOt all that unusual, but unusual enough.  Once someone gets started
and gets a few wins, then they usually keep going, but they have

Failure in installation due to seeing things as "gibberish" and
not being able to understand what's going on is usually frustrating
enough that the person gives up.
