You're being too hard on yourself, Graham.  You're plenty smart.

Must've been LISP on Windows!  ;-)  Similar joke I heard:

A mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer and a Microsoft engineer
were driving down a desert road together in a car when suddenly the car
just stopped.

The mechanical engineer spoke up: "Gotta be a fuel problem.  Pop the
hood and I'll have a look."

The electrical engineer said, "No, no.  It smells like the ignition
system.  Let me have at it."

The Microsoft engineer said, "I have an idea.  Let's close all the
windows, get out of the car, get back in and open the windows again.
Maybe it'll work."

The other two engineers looked at each other, turned back to the
MS guy and said, "The car's computer doesn't run CE, dude.  Besides,
those are clutch, brake and gas pedals, not CTRL, ALT and DEL."
