another thing to point out. Its hard to believe how cheap your courses are. $650 for 10 weeks? Most private companies charge $2000-3000 for lousy entry level courses. Oracle charges $500/day(and their stuff is not always that good).

find someone to teach it out in northern virginia and Ill take it. Dont think you will get any takers. The schools out here charge several times that for their entry level stuff. Received on Mon Nov 03 2003 - 11:23:19 CST
