Welcome from one newbie to another, though after several months I
don't feel so new. All these guys feel like family.

Welcome the the forum. Lots of interesting, knowledgable and enthusiastic folk here.
Lots to learn here, from the forum and the magazine etc.
I'll chip in with a note that I learnt (and still learn) from http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/indexmag.html.
The back catalogue is a goldmine.
