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 running for my playing around only)
CICS/TS
DB2 VM/VSE
(our first application converted from CICS and TOTAL to CICS/TS and DB2 goes
into production in August.  Hooray!
Top Secret
I still fumble more than grasp, TCP/IP.

Thanks
