Hi, you might want to see about taking a class from the
Copper Connection -I've heard really, really good things about
their classes! I'm pretty sure if you do a websearch you will find
them... This can be a quicker way of coming up to speed...

> I appreciate any advice you may provide. My boss signed me up with IPC
