Right, I would most likely add a Dixie then. Though now I am thinking of cutting back and getting just enough modules to work, and playing with it first to see what direction I want to go.

That's interesting, as I was interested in maths but figured I had to wait and get the basics first. I watched a couple videos and I get it.

Damn it, here I wanted to go starter basic, now I feel like I absolutely need the Vcob's, corgasmatron, and maths after listening to them.
