To anyone that is concerned about doing this or thinks it might be too hard, don't be.
This method is SO easy, that I actually rooted a friends phone this weekend while we were driving down the highway. I then downloaded a ROM and installed it for him. All of this took about 30 minutes start to finish. He then proceeded to ignore everyone at the restaurant while he played with his phone.
@Jcase & Eclips3, you boys did a hell of a nice job on this. As per your request, he will be donating money to a shelter in our area this week.
