Hi Jim. Of course, I like class room training over the rest also. But sometimes, you just can't get away. Being a consultant, that is usually a good thing G. Do you have any info on PC based or self study courses? My biggie learning curves at the moment are: Linux/390 (4 images currently

Vic, It comes down to basic short-sightedness and stupidity, two things that are never in short supply in managers, even in America. :) A lot of managers view training as the first place to cut when the budget reductions come (every quarter now for many). It doesn't hurt day-to-day operations
