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 http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs.html
[Hes notorious for other reasons -- ignore that]
And of course you can ask me :-)
