Grow some. I did. There is lots of doc's out there. You just have to take some time to learn it. Just like anything else...learning to ride a bike for example. It takes trials and tribulations. My company is a two man crew. I took time to learn much about MT, but not all yet...I still have days we are sitting around tweedling our thumbs, I use it to learn something new about Tik! And not messing with our secretary...J/K!
