Hi Bill,

I had a real good look back about six months ago. Unfortunately, I did not
find anything useful except for course outlines and course costs. I ended up
making a course outline and workbook up on my own using the clients data and
software license. It is really basic MI stuff.

I hear you on the MI course costs, it can get really expensive if you decide
to send a few people from the office on an official course. I ended up doing
all my training with staff myself.

It'd be a great wiki topic. I wish the wiki I'd set up a few weeks ago had
survived, but due to an act of the gods, followed by a pinheaded hacker
from Romania, I've had some difficulty rebuilding the server with all the
necessary software.  I'm going to put it up again, but I've got a full
plate with my day job just now, so if someone else wants to set up a wiki
in the meantime, I've got some pages to contribute!

Not from MapInfo -- training costs US$795 per course -- but last I
checked, ESRI's got 5-6 times the GIS market as MapInfo so they can afford
some largess.
