Jim,
         In my opinion, TDI offers the best approach of the four 
technical training agencies in the U.S.. I am not going to say they 
are perfect, just better than the rest. If you don't agree, tell me 
which one is better and why (saying they are all bad doesn't answer 
the question ).
         BTW, which technical agency cards do you hold? Did you take 
your classes at Sears & Roebuck or Montgomery ward. In your own 
opinion, you couldn't be much of a diver since you learned to dive 
from one of those no good dive instroketors who was swapping c-cards 
for cash. Actually, you are probably one of those cyber divers who 
posts a lot and seldom gets wet.

The world contains but three types of people:
            1. Those who make things happen.
            2. Those who watch things happen.
            3. Those who wonder what happened.
