Welcome to the forum, asylum, smart-knowledge-central...
anyway... Welcome and ask away. Lots and lots of information and history here and lots and lots of members that are willing to reply.
Suggestions: review the newbie info box, then scope out what is happening in your area (Chapters and Regions link to the left); jump into the chatter, and have fun. Don't be bashful. We love variety, especially with a touch of humor.
Your turn..what do you want and what do you expect from your anticipated smart? Be as detailed as you want. A dissertation is not required but at least a few bullet points. Do you have a picture of your ideal smart? Do you want any modifications done to it?
