Re: Any where we can get a more hands on primers/tutorials for the Karma

Hi Greg,
  If you want to learn more about combi creation, try Paul Osborn's 
tutorial over at Karma Lab Forums.  You should be over there for more 
detailed and expert help anyway.  Here is a link to Paul's tutorial -

   If you want to start small first, try my mini tutorial -
http://www.karma-lab.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5087
   Finally, you said it yourself.  You have to spend time with the 
Karma to learn how to get the best out of it.  By the way, DON'T read 
those tutorials in an armchair.  Print them out and take them over to 
your Karma and get to it.
Cheers,
Eric
