Chip, just to let you know that I missed none of your trainings sessions. I could not make it to join them live, coz I'm in Germany and your sessions would start at 2am, but I listeended to the archived sessions and took some great ideas out from your examples you supplied. I do a lot of programming to make my job easier for me and your sessions helped me a lot to fulfill this. Thanks a lot for all your efforts and I'm sure we'll get in touch, Ralf

I do intend to keep on with the classes; someone writing me off-list made me realize that wasn't clear the way I put it; it's just that the every week schedule was getting hard for me to keep up. I'll just do them now on an irregular basis, as people send me ideas (where they're unclear about something, or when I learn something new). Because it's not going to be so rigidly scheduled, if anyone would like the interactive class (when there is one) at a different day and time, please let me know. This holds true especially for our European friends; if you would like the live classes so you can ask questions, but the time was too late, I'd be open to doing them on some Saturday or Sunday morning my time so it won't be too late there (if you write with a request just specify if you like the podcast or the live classes, and when if it's the live ones). Hope this clarifies things somewhat, and thanks to you guys for being so appreciative.

I have learned a great deal from you--not only through your classes, but from your answering questions and the many books that you have sent to me. Anything that you want to do in the future will be of great interest to me. You not only know the technical parts of scripting, but you are a great teacher. I really enjoy taking the examples that you have given us and actually getting them to execute, and then making some changes to them myself. Every time I see an example like that, I learn something that I couldn't do before, and I add it to my library! Again Thank you very much!!!
