Hi, thanks for the input, sure the course/exam which is mainly based on the Books doesn't make up for years of experience, I have some, even though possibly not as extensively as some of you... will probably still do it, to have the possibility to teach/do workshops, even though the demand seems rather small in Germany... Lately I've been on an Apple presentation workshop, where they showed Logic Pro and Final Cut and so on, and concerning the two Logic workshops I was really disappointed, they were short, there were feedback problems from the speakers mic and in general they seemed rather designed to act as promotion, but not with the "pro shine" and Keynote elegance that we are used from, let's say, Steve Jobs. I could definitely do better than that. And probably would sweat less. Regards, Frank Valet

Your universe is different. *b)The best is Chris Thompson, formerly of Steinberg Canada, snagged by Apple UK a couple of years ago. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat>
