Charlotte,

As far as the "power suite" I was just relaying what I found on the
AppDev site.  Since I'm my own employer I was trying to determine
which ".NET training series" you have.  AppDev has 17 different .NET
"courses" ranging from 2 CD's worth up to 16 CD's.  The .NET Power
Suites have 73 CD's for the VB.NET suite and 40 CD's for the C# suite.
 There's also a .NET Web Development suite with 56 CD's.  MCAD and
MCSD certification suites are available, too.

The Dobson book I found just struck me as funny since the ONLY copy
available on Amazon had that outrageous price.  Maybe it's really,
really good!

Thanks, Charlotte.
