My guess is that there will be those "on in years" that are still uncomfortable with using PCs, so I wouldn't worry too much about joining the homeless, just yet.
If you're not able to attend Autodesk University this year, I hear that James Wedding's presentation of setting up and using Styles is going to be recorded. So look for the archive of AU coming soon.
There's Company Standards, and then there are City, County and State Standards also, so once you get the Company's set don't forget how to do it. :-)
7:16 on a Saturday night? Man, that's dedication!
