Here's a link for one of the training seminars. Not sure if its only $50 a head though. Sounds pretty cheap to me. If thats the case, I'd pay with my own money.

Well we finally had the seminar the last couple of days, I managed to get chosen to attend without begging anyone. It was an interesting couple of days, especially considering the fact that we were in a booth without air conditioning ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) I know that sounds like a stupid compaint this time of year to some of you, but it was probably a constant and uncomfortable 83-84 most of the time.
The good news is that I finally have some sort of idea what the hell you guys are talking about. Things I thought I knew from reading up on the equipment we use, but that I truly had no clue about. I can change belts, time platters, diagnose a wider range of problems than I previously could, and I could change and focus a xenon bulb if it was needed. Hopefully it was worth the couple hundred bucks a person it ended up costing, although I certainly would love never having to apply any of this knowledge(I'm not holding my breath).
