I'm completely new to chip burning

, I have read a lot about it but don't quite get it yet. What I basically want to know is
A: what I need to get in order to burn my roms, and
B: how to make sure I don't eff it up, meaning a step by step guide on datalogging, adjusting, burning etc..
I do have a fair deal of knowledge automotively speaking, meaning I'm the one my friends look to when something needs to be done. Not to mention that I would like to know for myslef.
Please help me.
oh and I already went and ordered the moates burn 1
thanks a lot for any help you might offer.
