I too have taken a neon bending course (actually, several, at this point). I agree that it's fun, satisfying, and most enlightening. You can find basic courses cheaper than this one if you just want to get your feet wet, but this sounds like a world-class course and I expect it's worth the money. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
