Hand mill questions

I'm interested in grinding my own grains--just in the daydreaming stage, BUT I have some questions:


1.  Just how hard is it to crank a hand mill??  Is it something a wimp could do (the wimp being me)?


2.  One of the reasons I don't want an electric mill is the noise.  Are hand cranked mills noisy?


3.  The other reason I don't want an electric mill is that with bad asthma I don't really need to be breathing in a lot of grain dust.  Is that much of a problem with a hand mill?


Any recommendations for a hand mill that is easy to crank, doesn't produce too much dust, is adjustable for differnt grains and grinds, and reasonably priced?
