That would be a pretty cool ambition for me, too. I doubt I would ever do that more than once every couple years, though.

I guess you guys are right, there really isn't anything to lose beyond money. I'll go ahead and go ahead with it.
Those CD programs are very expensive. The ones that I have seen are pretty good but like you said, it can be done with just a book from Gleim. Have you considered checking your local library to see if they have any of those cds/books in their catalogue? You might be able to just borrow them.
