The help that I have seen flying around is amazing. People go out of their way to make sure others are not stuck. I don't think anyone gave Hookbill special help. I've seen new members as well as those who have been here a while get helped. I've seen easy and tough installs. Some go real easy...others not so easy. It's the one or two that might have not ended up where they wanted to be that have me still watching and learning.
Reading those two threads will probably take an hour or so. Anyone doing so will gain a fair amount of knowledge as well. Having read those threads I now know that 5 bucks does not buy a plug and play app. My main reason for pointing to those 2 threads is so others also realize that while this is doable it can also come with some moments of panic as well as the fact that anyone looking for answers will find them there in messages themselves or in the form of links elsewhere. Actually, by now reading just the 2nd link will probably suffice
The mention of the moments of panic, while true, is also now kind of fondly remembered as part of the fun. I guess a comparison would be like someone who may want to sky dive. We all know that probably everything will go well but there's a risk involve. I know that's really apples and oranges but it does have that "thrill" type feel to it.
