Welcome. We're glad to have you aboard.

There has been a mind boggling number of upgrades made available since your machine was new. However, take your time, enjoy the learning curve, and never hesitate to ask questions here.

Adding to what Dusty has already said, Any three of the four items on the bench are worth your cost. That means not only was the Mark 5 a freebie, so also was the fourth SPT!

Make that nice PO a gift as one of your first 'projects". It will mean a lot to him to see your success with it.
