Ok - I think I'll play with Zope 2 - I have a book on it and can flip
through that. I'll play with the base Zope packages first and then hop
onto Plone. I love the layout and look and feel of Plone and I'm
curious about the visuals of naked zope. There's no better way to find
out than to play so I'm hopefully able to dedicate today to that task.

Thanks again everyone for your input. Much appreciated.
