Or to Providence every >Wednesday evening for an entire summer, for $750, for a Dreamweaver >adult ed class? I'm entirely self taught - that is, once somebody had showed me how to switch it on ... Office automation, Photoshop, HTML, Javascript, Visual Basic, Fortran, C ... never been on a course but read a lot of stuff (books and on line) and never miss the chance to talk to someone who really knows :o) These days pretty much all you need to get you started is on-line ... and the fact you are here proves you can already use the internet. I'd never pay even $75 for a course. ___________________________________________________________ Tiscali Broadband from 14.99 with free setup! http://www.tiscali.co.uk/products/broadband/
