Hunter_54,
Welcome! Being a new person to this site myself, my advise is to get a big pot of coffee (or three) and start by reading the FAQ section and past postings. There is tons of information in here and found that most of the questions I asked had already been answered. Many times the answer was in the form of a link to a past thread. These guys are great and quite willing to share their passion and knowledge. Be sure to read and abide by the rules. Enjoy!
Don
