jcrous,
                You have some pretty good information there.  That's the first time I've heard of Blender Underground.  I went to the site, and downloaded part 4 of the video tutorial.  I expected to see a video tutorial like most of them out there, (hard to make out the menus) but I was surprised.  The quality was excellent, and the tutorials were well presented.  I'm going back to start from the beginning.  PS.  I do love the way they referred to the man.
