Welcome to ACL! There are a few members from Oklahoma on ACL. @Mike Spencer is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Don't hesitate to ask questions. Someone is usually lurking in the chat room. Drop by and say hi
Welcome to ACL. The 101 Manual is a good start as are the website's other sections. The archived forums are a good place to find solutions to problems others have encountered as well as pro/con debates of some topics. Cheers.
