Good luck in your pursuits down the road Keith Cheers RicB <blockquote> I find the discussion of interest because recently I have just been able to shape a few ribs and diaphram a board and I had 2 1/2 years of engineering at UCSB. I am best at visualation so I am creating a picture that I can model. By the end of the spring semester 08 I should be ready to enroll in a school at the level of a Junior to finish that degree. I will be looking for a school that could hire me as a part time tech and gives lower fees for employees. I have only the tuning half of the RPT test to complete. Keep me in mind if that will fit a need at your College or University.
