Hi Geoff,
Thank you for directing me to the glossary and list of acronyms, they'll be extremely useful from now onwards. I'm very grateful for your very clear explanations and advice. It's all been taken on board.
Finally, you're right I think a second-hand scope will be the way to go to start with.
Cheers,
Laurent

Hi Suzy,
Thank you for all your postings. It must have taken you a lot of time to put all this info together and I know I'll be referring to it regularly from now on.
I'd also like to thank you and all the others for welcoming me in this community.
Cheers All,
Laurent
