Shot the first non-polaroids with the pacemaker last night. And learned:
1. The old 770 flash works, but take the numbers with a grain of salt.
2. GG focusing and patience are a good thing.
3. A bathroom really _will_ double as a darkroom.
4. Dust is not your friend. Compressed air may be.
5. This stuff is as fun as I thought it would be.
6. Jeez have I got a lot to learn!

Thanx for all the help gleaned here.

Congratulations, Larry!
I experienced the same thrill of developing my first LF negatives a few weeks ago.
I've tried both drum and tray processing. The Jobo drum does 2 negs at a time and I don't have to stand around in the dark, but frequently one of the negatives comes loose and either doesn't develop properly, or interferes with the other negative. It seems that the ridges in the drum are not high enough to hold the neg properly.

Bathroom and dust.......I found that the >tiled shower< was a great place to hang wet negs. and the dust was never a problem!
