Ron,
I am sure you will be able to pick it up in no time, but I would be happy to sit down with you and help you with any questions you may have. I got a 30 minute lesson over the phone from another DLA member and that really helped me out. Since you are right down the road, we can get together anytime, just give me a call. "Pay it forward" is how we keep growing. And remember, when you get the PIC for your dongle, give me a call and I will program it for you. I got my PICket a few weeks ago and I am getting pretty good with it.
Jay
