Seems rather predatory to > me, I would avoid even mentioning their URL or company name. i would agree. but i can't imagine even a *non*-technical client not understanding the proper pricing of technical training. anyone who's even moderately good at business already knows the appropriate range of prices for training courses, and over $3000 for a single day of intro instruction should have *anyone* saying, "whaaaaaa?" rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
