Not HappyAug 18, 2011

I was not happy with this webinar, as no mention was made in the presentation, that it would focus exclusively on software, and specifically on one software. In fact, the webinar should have been titled 'Introduction to TO3000'. In which case, I would not have attended.

Agreed with Barbara, not happyAug 18, 2011

There was no mention anywhere in the description that this was just a tutorial for one piece of software. It seemed like a sales pitch.
