not yet, that's phase two.  right now it's assume the worst and get up to
speed with the possibilities offered.

then once i know fairly clearly what i want and what's possible i'll start

a big thanks to everyone on this list, this thread has been hugely
informative for a casual newbie post.

thanks again!
