It has been a long time since the CLI was a necessary part of using
unix.

If you have a Kindle, you are using a flavor of unix.
Good luck even finding the CLI there.

If you do want to learn about computers,  doing a Linux install
is probably the best way to go.  And, it's completely free.
Get yourself a live CD or bootable USB key and you don't even have to
change anything on your hard disk.
