I certainly hope so, Genome. I plan on jumping into arena on a POS computer and a semi-fixed (flat freakin broke) income. At least skirmishes, so I can wrap my head around it. BTW, that flowchart? SICK!
Somewhere in there, remember to breathe, and realize that Arena'ing isn't supposed to be a cake walk and you WILL lose occasionally and pillar humping is the name of the game so don't get too frustrated.
