you can spend years, nay decades, exploring the capabilities of your
setup.  i've owned Ms for over 15 years, and i am using them now in 
a manner and to produce images completely different than those made 
in my first 5 years.

one of the beauties of the M system is you can "casually" take it along
with you without it being a bother to you.  so carry it everywhere
and use it all the time!

good luck,
