ah HA! I thought I might be mistaken about that. the instructions are
quite thorough, I thought.

Not THAT disappointing, as I want to learn as much as I can, as well. So
any time something goes right, I love it because I can move forward, and
anytime it doesn't, I love it because I'm trying to learn. In fact I'm
thinking of working this project into a new degree program. :)
I'll go forward, and try and get it humming. Fernando will probably beat me
to the punch *laugh*
I'm not averse to anything, even writing code. Writing code will be a HUGE
stretch, as I haven't programmed anything since first year CS courses in -
jeeze '95 or something. :) That said, I don't want it to be a hack job :)

I plan on writing some simple scripts when I figure out all the various
command line commands I'll need. :)
Thanks! I'll be back with more tommorrow, I'm sure. :)
