Ahh... Ok, that's cool.

Not sure about teaming up with someone. I'll write a few tutorials and
see how everything works out...Who knows what this could turn into in
time? A cooperative effort might be possible in the future. 

I'll be starting work on the tutorial this weekend, simply because I
don't have any time to do it during the week. (Gadda keep my grades up
for DigiPen, now don't I?) I'll be releasing it in sections... As I
finish a lesson I'll post it on my web space.

Thanks everyone for the input. I'll try to make the actual tutorial live
up to your hopes. I already have a motif setup, and this weekend the
real drafting begins. After I get the first lesson up, I'll try to post
a new lesson or two every week until most everything is covered. (Or
until I get too tired to keep it up) This will be a learning experience
for me as well, as this will force me to cover and research nearly all
aspects of the PlayStation. So... Here we go.
