I so much appreciate everyone's posts. This board is awesome and I'd be totally lost without it. I am still so undecided. I have read more bad reviews on the Internet about it than good. I think $500 is a lot to spend for something I'm not sure will work for what I want it to. I know by reading that there will be a lot more $$ needed to keep up with the boards, etc. I will keep reading and researching. But thank you all so very much.
