My girlfriend says you're a dick Damo.

HappyDude11, if I were you I would not take One Day Hero's advice. What I would do is what others have said: join a club or find a friend who can take you out. You shouldn't need anything more than a harness, shoes and chalk. Then when you get a bit of a feel for it, you will answer most of the questions you have now....and think up a bunch more questions to ask.

The main thing to avoid is spending $200 on a rope and then deciding it's not for you!

You could take WideWetandSlippery's advice about just getting out and having a go, though that would be an...interesting experience. You could very well fcuk things up and there could be serious consequences - though lots and lots of old farts learnt this way and the ones still here to tell you about it are still here to tell you about it. If you do do this, then try and beg, borrow or steal gear rather than buying...though don't go home made - that shit should stay in the past.
