Hello, everyone. I'm new (obviously, and I'll be heading over to the Intro thread as soon as I post this) and I successfully rooted my Nook Color 3 days ago using Autonooter 3.0.0. Not being very techy I was somewhat terrified, but honestly I've been reading the threads here about rooting since I got my NookC. Thanks to everyone who posted about rooting, which apps work/do not work, the best apps, etc. I really appreciate everyone's helpfulness.

Now to my questions: I have seen a few posts/threads here about Clockwork Recovery. Is it necessary? Not being techy, as I said, the CWR sounds over my head, frankly, and I don't want to mess with anything.

That being said, I also don't want to lose the changes I have made to my Nook with B&N's auto-updater. Is there a simple way to disable that, or at least one that is easy to follow without my getting too deep into the "internal stuff"?

Thanks for "listening," and sorry if these questions are redundant.
