I actually did my learning curve in about 6-8 hours and got productive (I am a programmer), and for about a week kept looking things up and adding to my kbd commands.... if you do this and take things one at a time I actually think you can have fun learning it. Just dont be too hard on yourself, allow mouse use for awhile :)

Thanks, for the encouragement, David.
