The real golden nugget of this course was Jay Kapur's one-hour session on grids -- it was, hands down, worth the price of admission. If there is ever an opportunity to pay for Duarte's new employee orientation where we can consume more training like Jay's, I will happily be your first customer. Thanks for everything you do!Ted Fleming
