I'll be there in moral support as well, I'm always up for learning and I'm 
excited that there are more folks singing the praises of the wonderfulness that 
is Kindle. I got scared the first time I did the reset so I know where you're 
coming from. But, I've got that many or moe, I can't resist those freebies, and 
all around good stuff you tend to find on the Amazon site so it's all good. 
Anyway, take care and talk to you soon. It will definitely be going with me 
this weekend to my brother's wedding. Take care.
