I myself went through the "purchase fever" stage and now I purchase very little and am trying to learn the tools I have much deeper. Although I did purchase a spectacular rhino model for $1.99 recently! 2) Question too big! 3) When you say "I have the manual that comes with...", that is a rather unusual way to phrase it. The manual is very very good...but it is NOT a training manual...it is a REFERENCE manual. This means that when you see a command, room or button and think "what does this do?" the first thing is to look it up in the manual. 4) Best way to become an active member is to make small comments that help, and then to contribute some idea or piece of learning that you acquired. From your gallery examples I'd say you have a sense of color and 'painterly' sensibility, and that is valuable. You might be a relative beginniner, but I'd bet you could contribute ideas for postwork. 5) You will most likely discover quite a few Austrailian natives here! Brisbane, I don't know. Good luck! ::::: Opera :::::
