ah i'm horrible on hills. The whole rollback issue when someone's in back of you always drives me nuts. The s was my first stick i'm still trying to figure it out lol. I Only drove it for a few months before i put it away for winter. I'm about to break it out for spring soon. Of course i'll have to learn it's tricks all over again.
easy fix if your still bad with the clutch and mrs. cell phone is right on your ass on a steep hill:

with the car stopped, ready for launch:

1.depress (=pushed in) the clutch and depress the brake, holding you in place
2.pull the e brake up, while holding the lock button IN, so it does not lock
3.switch your brake foot to the gas pedal, and start to give it gas while letting out on the clutch
4. when you feel the sweet spot, slowly put the ebrake back down

viola

and for the record, like i said the S has been my first stick shift, and i have never been in one accident

It shouldn't be a problem. The S2000 is really no more sensitive or difficult to learn on that any other car in Honda's line up. Have fun.
