I feel you on the book purchasing point. I can't help but feel that somebody, somewhere, must be getting some kind of monetary benefit from pushing this fantastic "training software" on this class.
google image search is awesome, isn't it?!!:)
Your pics are pretty cool!
I'm not sure if I am going to open the book but thought I needed it for the SAMS CD but I haven't opeded that either!%#@ Shenanigans!
Good way to use a qoute from the book. Yes, I agree the book was costly.
i hear ya. that book is wayy too expensive.
I know I had to pick up a few shifts myself to pay for the book and CD. I cant believe we pay this much for an education, but it's worth it in the end!
