First of all, thanks to all those who responded to the predecessor of
this message: "darkroom neophyte knows nothing."

The responses have really psyched me to get into some darkroom activity.
However, I have two questions:

1) I am planning on going to Olden's and going with one of their package
deals, where they sell you everything you need at once.  There is a matter
of selecting an enlarger.  Can anyone suggest a nice one to get started with
that a) will allow for my future explorations into medium format  (i.e., take
negatives up to 6x7 cm) and b) will have a color head for doing color work
(after practicing with b&w, as was suggested by most responses).

2) I am living in a small apartment right now, and probably will for a few 
years.  I'd be very interested in hearing from people who do darkroom work
in similarly horrible circumstances.  (How I miss my big house in suburbia
with its big dark basement and big dark attic.)

thanks,
