Formerly known as Al Collins Graphic Design School... I went there. It's an
ok school. Got me a job making 40,000 a year here in Scottsdale.

I wish I knew enough to be able to go. I think this would be an EXCELLENT
opportunity here. They have probably several hundred IRIX machines running
Maya and alot of the graphic designers might even be into it... who knows.

I'd like to hear how this goes. Report back to us afterwords.

P.S. even if I did know enough to go, my work schedule wouldn't allow me too.
