Techguy has been a good friend to me on these boards and he has been giving you very good advice. He asked me to visit your thread and I am happy to offer my support, too.
I suggest you consider making a thread in the Newcomers section. That section has much more traffic and people really will try to help you.
You sounded more positive in your last post than in your first few and that is good. The more you can keep up your PMA (positive mental attitude) the better. I will caution you against expecting too much too soon. I am guilty of that quite often and it hurts when things don't always go as you want when you want them to. Just stay the course.
I and some others will be around the boards this weekend, so keep posting. I will check in on you.
