this would be great...right on target, too. It makes sure that the teacher is willing (I'm assuming we'll not be lining them up at gunpoint =), and it gets those who _really_ want it (read: those willing to pony up the dough) the info they want so much. I think the outcry made was from someone like myself who has discovered this "computer gig" later in life and does not have the chance for formal schooling. Sure there are books, but that's not enough for some. Everyone learns differently. Sure there are other courses, but how many times are they useless? I'd be much happier to gamble on teachers I know than ones I don't.
