OK, finally, to get it straight, the Meade ETX-90EC telescope can be found at the Discovery store for $495, but most other places have it for $595.
I promise not to reply to myself any more.
The Meade Autostar telescopes are great for someone who is wanting to look at the cosmos but isn't sure where to look. You set it up, do some alignment, then select from thousands of different objects to look at. It will automatically locate to that object.
There is plenty of hardware out there a newbie can cut their teeth on. You can experiment with Z80/ARM using Gameboy and MIPS using Playstation or Nintendo64. See comment 2882923 for a possible job path.
These changing work roles are very similar to the changes that occurred during the turn of the century when masses of people went from the farm to the factory. Part of the results included an increased interest in ideal societies (anarchy, socialism, communism, and planned factory towns [aka Hershey, PA]) by intellectuals. It also had an increase in popularity of controlling, repressive regimes (fascism and applied forms of communism) supported by the majority which gave those supporters a sense of stability and control over the changes that were occurring.
I believe that progress is being made towards ideal societies, but every step has it's own growing pains. If this is truly the second revolution of work/society patterns, I would expect the majority to cling to any group claiming to be for traditional values and to protect the common man, with the added risk of supporting repressive regimes.
The Computer Source Magazine has had many well written "getting started with Linux" articles over the last few of years. It is a free print publication for the Puget Sound area, but it has all of it's articles archived online. Go to the archive and search for linux on the page.

Oops, $495 for the Meade ETX-90EC Telescope. Still under $500, though.
Oh yeah, they start at $299.
