This is all well and good, and to a certain extent, I agree with JM. 
But, as I told Kim in my other reply to this thread, I've got 
instructional material out the wazoo already, so I'm mostly curious 
what makes JM's material unique. Depending on what is (or isn't) 
covered, it may (or may not) be worth it to me.

After you spring for it, I hope you'll get back with us soon. ;)

Thanks!
