One other thing I thought of... Who's going to help the absolute beginner ?One can of course ask questions on this forum, I must say support in general is great,
but answers can sometimes also be a little intimidating...
Yes yes. But imagine asking a stranger questions and expect getting help. I still prefer asking here 
I'm trying to train teachers (high school) so they themselves are not absolute beginners but their students ARE! I'm training the teachers since I'm not certified to train kids, nor do I have the skills! Kudos to high school teachers! It's difficult job and doesn't pay much. I'm hoping with arduino they can do their jobs better, and kids enjoy more.
