At this time it’s all I can handle to stay relatively nearby. Perhaps when the economy improves I can gather up my groupies and take the show on the road.

If only this was available outside the USA, what are we to do?

Andy, thanks for the positive review. Weren’t you the smart guy in the second row?

Seriously, whenever I team up with smart guys like Mike and Bob, I always hang out while they are teaching, because they always show something new. it might bee a new technique, or a new way of looking at a problem, but it always stretches my brain. I’d like to think I have the same effect.

Please allow me to put in an unsolicited plug for the boot camp. If anyone out there is teetering on the decision of whether to attend this, I can tell you it is well worth the price of admission.

If you humbly consider yourself an intermediate user, if you are comfortable with Excel’s default charts (but not much more), if you know enough about pivot tables to be dangerous, and if you want to know how to streamline your work flow and make your data tell a story, then this is the class for you.

Jon and Mike will pack more practical information into 24 hours than should be humanly possible. I attended the inaugural session and it began paying dividends before the end of the first day. Since October I have been able to apply the knowledge I gained countless times.
