If I could figure out how to upload two servers, some CAT5 cabling, and a NetApp and DS14 I would. But the classes are not PowerPoint slides ... they are hands-on where you cable your own network, install the O/S, install the Oracle binaries and the class final is a failover using the TAF demo. Pretty hard to do in usenet. And turning 16 hours of hands-on with 7 manuals also doesn't translate well.

The offer is serious but no the goodness of my heart, and the depth of my wallet, don't cover the airplane ticket or the hotel room though the lab contains a small kitchen, a full bath, a 6' couch, and a bottle of Glenmorangie. ;-)
