Hey mate, I think I chatted with you and your wife while in-line for the pisser at our starting point. As a noob too, I can't agree more with appreciating advice and time from the experienced folks. I respect it can be frustrating to answer the same noob questions--I work partly in networking and IT---while not exactly the same, i know patience is a tough virtue. I'll be returning the favor by getting my upgrades thru the local sponsors when the time comes.
