Mike, I was going to right you a nice cheery letter beginning: "Fortunately for both of you, I come across all sorts of obscure information in this job. :-) IBM runs a nationwide system of Guided Learning Centers, which furnish self-instruction materials on obscure subjects up to and including System 36; costs generally run $60-65 per half-day..." Then I checked your system name in uuhosts. I had no idea whether IBM's "nationwide" system of Guided Learning Centers is available in Stockholm, or indeed anywhere outside US borders! So I called IBM here in Chicago, and got a woman who tried to tell me about their centers in such foreign countries as Alaska (!) and Guam. I finally got it through her head that EUROPEAN information would be appreciated, and she referred me to the Atlanta Guided Learning Center: Sara Coggins (404) 847-7069 Peg Johnson (404) 847-6075 These two should be able to give you information on System 36 courses in Stockholm.
