I'm perfectly OK with emacs if I knew anything about it. :) I know it's
a little OT to ask, but if anyone knows of a slow, to-the-point tutorial
for emacs that will cover getting me cool with the keyboard shortcuts, I'm
all ears. org-mode looks awesome, but those keyboard shortcuts are *damn*
hard to learn.

Most of basic orgmode is available through the menus (org and tbl are the
relevant ones)
The ones that have a keyboard shortcut have that listed in the menu when
and if you feel like learning it.
Yes the builtin tutorial is definitely perverse -- recommending Ctrl-P and
Ctrl-N over up and down arrows!! But you can ignore this nonsense and
start there.
After that you can ask on gnu.help.emacs and/or the orgmode list (which is
very helpful)
Xah Lee has some nice emacs stuff

[Hes notorious for other reasons -- ignore that]
And of course you can ask me :-)
