Re: beginners question

Some good postings on this already, IMHO they've honed in on the important
point, that you should focus on a programmable system, preferably one that
you can evolve yourself. Don't be scared of programming, anyone can do it,
it's creative and can be fun. It would be useful if you can locate a
friendly programmable device that you can get familiar with. For starters,
try www.splatco.com.au. Feel free to email me with queries.
