Quote - I never really messed with Daz Studio much. I just don't like it.

It's a nice little program for people who are curious about 3D modeling but don't want to pay a lot - or, in DAZ's case, anything - for software; and while it is quite powerful what it does, I think I'm going to be able to accomplish a lot more with Poser.

Quote - As for what you want to do with Poser, believe you me, there's no shortage of information out there, and you can count on getting good answers to technical questions, right here.

Quote - Don't let what I said about the manual dissuade you though. It's all true, but I thought you ought to know, since you specifically asked about it.

 
Thanks.  I appreciate that.

Quote - Transmapped hair is a modelling task and is probably more popular than dynamic(strand) hair , its also less ressource intensive.

I'm not familiar with the term "transmapped", but will certainly read more about it.  Thanks for the tip.

Quote - Jump in with both feet and good luck.

Will do!  Thanks!  :)
