"I waited too long."
How I did it: I started Project 365 (a photo a day) using my point and shoot. While it did a really nice job, there were limitations and I wanted to take it to the next level.
I started to do research and talked to some friends. I found I was getting too confused. I had gotten feedback from friends that Canon was the best value. Since its been 30 years since I had a slr, I decided that I would go for the starter level of dslr and if I decided later I needed to upgrade I would. Since we had a vacation coming, I decided it was a good time. Watched the sale ads and made a decision.
Lessons & tips: Know what you want to use it for. You can get a lot camera for not a lot of money.
Resources: Canon Rebel T1i.
It took me 6 months.
It made me Happy 
I'm glad, the Canon Rebel T1i is a great camera for beginners or those who may be rusty. If it took you 6 months to pick the camera thats fine but then maybe you should start looking at new lenses to compliment your camera. The 18-55mm lens is a good starter lens but it does limit you. Have fun!
