Rolex's clinics helped me out more than anything when i was first starting out. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn ACM come to this clinic.

I learned a lot when I flew in rolex's tutorial.  It was a great experience learning the basics as well as how to employ them in ACM situations.  Thanks for starting them up again Rolex <S> Sir

I will be there... I've volunteered to act as 'security' in the TA that night so Rolex's adoring fans don't trample him.
