Brad, I wish I had done like you, and start out with a photo course. Being self-taught all the way (except for lots of valuable advice from the PDML), I feel that everything takes so much time to learn. Maybe I'm being less than average systematic about it, but I think I would have done better with a course or two in the first place.
That said, it's definately more of a satisfaction to figure things out on my own than to have it served. I guess it's about _seeking_ information actively instead of being "fed" in a course or classroom situation. -Just wish the learning could happen a bit faster sometimes... :-) Jostein > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Brad Dobo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Hey folks, > > > > I'm quite curious here.
