Never heard of them

Why exactly are all these things so bloody expensive?  I've been to a 
couple, and I think the content delivered is often sub-par to what one can 
get at an average *FREE* KLUG meeting.

Yikes!  I'd want any training I pay for to be primarily focused on 
emerging technologies, not ones already listed under the "Depricated" 
section of the man page.

Want a topic covered?  Bring it to the Program Directors attention.  And 
if you want to give him $995, thats just fine too. :)
