Scopes (again)

Based on the recommendations of the list, I bought a used LeCroy 9400 scope (O.K.- I went down to Boeing Surplus and they happened to have one close to my price range, and since it had come up on the list I knew that it would work [you can get good stuff at Boeing, but you can also get stuff that's very good for testing the rudder system in a 757, but not for much else]. I still give you guys credit, though). Anyway, two questions: What's a good set of resonably priced but decent probe-type things to start with? I went to a electronics shop and was quoted $100 for a set - I'd rather not pay as much for the probes as I did for the scope if I don't have to. MCM has several listed in the ~$50 range, but I don't know what to look for or if they are any good. (2) What's a good introduction to actually using the thing? I got the 9400 (A) manual from LeCroy [Aside - there's something really wrong when the company recommends you buy a copy of Norton Anti-Virus to run on your SCOPE!]. I know basically what a scope does, and have used one twice, but that's it. I also have a 555 in the garage, should I start on that and move to the DSO? I didn't ever use the 555 (had it 7 years), because it was ~110 Lbs and no probes. Scott Quinn PS- regarding analog meters- been looking at them (not seriously), and haven't found much. What's a good one, and do they still make the FET versions of the VTVM (MCM doesn't seem to list any).
