Done!

Unbelievable! I'm done! Rooted, ROM'd, and booted into CyanogenMod 7.03. To all that have had a hand in the development of these methods, apps, and ROMs my sincere thanks go out to you for making this as painless as possible! I actually had a harder time jailbreaking my iPod Touch G1 on 3.1.3!

Of course this is only the first stop on the journey, I still have much experimenting to do with all aspects of the phone. I'm sure for those of you reading that have had an android phone for awhile this is all old hat, but maybe someone who hasn't started can learn a little from what I've done.
