On the microscope question, I found that Amazon had well rated (not sure about total quality) microscopes capable of 1000x magnification for less than $70. Since I don't like experimenting in the dark, I bit the bullet and purchased one today. Now I need to pull out the old microbiology lab book and remember how to isolate/discern between the various organisms (both good and bad).
Ray, thanks for providing the link. I'll be reading through the Yahoo thread soon.
