Alright, I went on-line & ordered it.  Now, do I need to make sure I'm up to
date with the latest CUM before I get this?  Or is there some place where I
can find the steps that I should take to prepare myself to do this properly?

I think it's a good idea if I have a high speed connection to the internet
AND i'm going to load to an image catalog. I probably wouldn't burn the CDs.


Regardless of whether I think it?s a good idea, I'm guessing it won't be
long before you pay a media charge for the CDs.
