The Tech Conference here went great. I almost lost my voice but it was all good. All of us went out to dinner the night before and there should be a lot of pics. Great to meet everyone especially Tuna and Cphilip. Big AO turnout!

Well...let me start by saying Tom...you are the greatest. I am honored to have been able to attend and get to meet you personally. You teach a mean class! And THANKS so much for introducing me to Bud Orr! The atmosphere of the whole event was once again priceless, proving that whenever you get these AGD people and AO'ers together, the fun just happens by itself. I felt as though I have known you guys all my life. Looking forward to meeting all of you soon again. My sincere thanks go out to you Tom, for providing the Professionalism that NO other company could ever supply. Special thanks to Tom, Gunga, Jon, Mel, Cphillip, and Kayle. You guys have helped me out in ways you will never know. Long Live AGD!

let see... Class in session! Good class and Tom is a real funny guy to watch. There were like 40 in the class and we got some good press in there too. I talked to a real nice looking blond reporter from some online publication. Need to see what that one was.

I have a question, are these classes ever videotaped? I have been trying to go to them for the last few times they were offered but work has kept me from going. Certification is not an issue for me but more for a better understanding of all the AGD products and how they work. (Since that is all I have)
