If you haven't gotten the free training yet (week long)-GET IT as soon as you can! We waited 8-9 months (stupidly listened to the salesman's advice to wait) and that was the worst way to start as total beginners. So do what you have to-get the training! THEN you will know that the machine WILL do things right once you know how. The worst for me is PC versus Mac...I have been doing graphics in Mac for over 15 years and everything is different-I constantly use the wrong key combinations, try to do things with designshop it isn't made for, etc....because I am in-bred with my mac. Good luck!
