thanks for the heads up! when i saw a tutorial using the 3.2 i just assumed it was the best one for the job. this is the most complicated tech project iv'e ever attempted, but i did just finish my first year of a java programming class in school so i do have some insight, and through all the research iv'e been attempting to do, the whole thing has interested me a fair bit. i might just go back to microcenter and return it, but this project isn't really very urgent at all so i might also just try and learn how to finish it. i really appreciate the help!
