It certainly would be much cheaper and should require alot less overhead no dogs to wory about. I have heard both national organizations talk about this kind of training but there are only three or four places in the country where you can get this kind of training. How about less hype and more training? tom G. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!273!210!Tom.Gerhart Internet: Tom.Gerhart@f210.n273.z1.fidonet.org
