Good advice. I've made a habit of doing exactly this for several years. Given the importance of first impressions, it's one of the quickest ways to fit into a new situation. If people think that you're efficient and quick to learn, you'll probably have less trouble getting co-operation later on, too.

When I woke up this morning, they were all around my bed,
If I knew who the enemy was, I'd shoot the bastard - dead."
