I enjoyed the training. I didn't go to it until I had been playing with my machine for about 6 months (due to being overlooked when my rep was (?)fired) so I had already figured out most of the software. I think the maintenance part was really helpful. I sure feel more confident of what to do when the maintenance alerts come up. I'm really looking forward to the training CD's coming out. I still haven't taken the digitizing training (but I think I've got most of that figured by now). I am more interested in the tech training. How much does that cost, and how long is the class? It's hard to find time to get away for these trainings, since they are all a flight or long drive from here, but I think the tech training would really help, and then I would be able to help people in my area too.
