Some of the slides were a bit too detailed to be perfectly legible from where I was sitting, but since they were available on the TAS CD, I knew I could always review them later. ::&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&::&?xxx?xxx?2?xxx?xxx::The administrative help was good. However, the scheduling of the TAS conflicted with GTEC, so I was unable to attend all the TAS sessions that I wanted to. I would recommend that future TAS sessions NOT be scheduled during the same week as GTEC. &::&::&&?xxx?xxx?xxx?3?xxx?xxx?xxx::UNIX, Windows and Netware software and hardware support in private enterprise and government.<<>>Not Scored by Definition
