Here's a good resource for them; it's better than I can explain..

One way to address the input impedance issue is to put a small capacitor from signal>ground. The thermistor isn't going to change output very rapidly, and the capacitor will just follow it's output. You don't need to add all the complexity of an op-amp buffer, because the response is so slow.
Also, I just got an e-mail regarding the motor. Same price, and they'll ship it to you for $30. They must have some special discount shipping arrangement. I'm just waiting to hear if it's in as good a condition as the one I have.
