    3. Estelene - I am planning on attending the conference, and I will talk to the people at HQRL about it. Perhaps we could take notes at the conference and then post them on our web site (I don't know if they'd give us permission to do this or not...)? I'll check too and see if perhaps they sell recordings of the lectures. Or if all else fails, I'd be happy to take copious notes and then just mail them to you via email as an attachment, or just cut and paste the text into an email. It is frustrating right now trying to find continuing education via the web, as most of the classes offered are pretty basic. Not too much advanced stuff out there for those who have been doing this for a while. It'd be cool if they could video some of these national speakers, and maybe for a small "rental" fee (which you could pay for by credit card), you could view their video online. The technology (and probably interest) just hasn't gotten there yet I guess. I'll get back to you with what I find out! :-) Mary Kozy SKCGS Webmaster Estelene Lapinski wrote: > I have been trying to solve this for years. So I decided to tell you > about it.
