I need to learn how to update our database from FileMaker 5 to FileMaker 9. Both FileMaker and Lynda.com offer training on CDs, which is probably the best for me, but I don't know how to choose which has the better training program.Has anyone tried either of these?

There's no longer a need to avoid Vista in new equipment, provided you have lots of RAM. SP1 cured most of it's ills, and it has some great new features.

At work we've been using Brown Bear Software's Calcium calendar for years. Recently I set up one of their free hosted calendars for a volunteer group I work with. Everyone figured out how to use it. The free version is great if you only want one calendar for everyone to share. The paid version lets you do individual calendars for the whole company

It sounds like what you will be doing is pretty high tech, so you might want to look into networking administration classes at your nearest community college or adult school.
