@DoomsdayRenderer - Yes, I found that book on Friday, I printed it out to see if I can follow along. Oh, I figure that there will be a lot of mistakes made before I get done. I always figured out the first thing they should teach you in a manual is how to delete, but no one evers does. LOL! @dsigns - I plan to stick with the internal renderer unless someone can point out a good reason to start with another renderer based on the type of animation that I want to do. I have not found a comparison sheet between the renderers, so a quick question to the Masters can sometimes removed weeks of testing. I ordered the new Blender book, but it will be a while till it get's here. I started to look at the video's, but got fed up with switching between the video and then back to the program. So last night I hooked up an old CRT beside the LCD display so I can keep the training video on the CRT next to the program. Life is good. :-))
