Welcome to OH!  Congrats on your decision to get switched.  You'll be joining the dark side before you know it 

My advice is read, read, read these forums!  They have helped me so much.

Good luck Mike!
If you're local to Dr. Sudan, I hope you'll be able to make it to one of our monthly DS support group meetings. We meet the second Saturday of every month.
