Oh, I see. We got the 16 CD's, I think. I may have paid around that price for both of Rick's books, not just one. They should run around $60 apiece.

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.
