I don't expect a fast start, partly because I'm still in the middle of a big 
video project, and partly because I have no prior knowledge whatsoever :-)  
However, I will try to make a start soon, no matter how small.  I've no doubt 
that I will be back with many questions.  I always am, when I start something 
new :-)
