Newcomer to IAS!

]
Well, I started on my Ramisis yesterday and I have to say: I'm very happy that it seems to be a bit more of a challenge than the Isis!
Though the ISIS is a very nice puzzle (and I'm sure I'll enjoy it for years to come!), the clues gave away so much and it just seemed like all that was left was to follow the recipe to the end... though it was a bit misleading that I was trying to listen for more than was actually there, but sometimes less is more! And I was a little disappointed that things weren't what they seemed - I was quite looking forwards (and yet daunted at the same time!) to that aspect of the puzzle.
The RAM clues had me stumped for a while - but I've managed to decode them in the end (even one which seems to be somewhat 'incomplete'? though maybe I decoded it wrong!
) - I started on completely the wrong path when looking for a way of decoding these, yet again looking for the hard solution to an easy problem! 
If only I could now figure out whether I'm at the start (or whether I got underway without knowing it!) - I'd be a happy man!
Hopefully I'll get this at least somewhere near half-open by the time I get the Copernisis from the girlfriend next month! - otherwise I might have to become a puzzle-hermit and take on these puzzles full-time! 
[hopefully none of the above gives away too much about either puzzle... I'm a forum n00b!]
