I am sure we will cover most things and there is a reason why the editing is at the end, this is a nice to have not a must have. But I can spend a little or a lot of time on it depending on how we are going for time.Wow hope you haven't put too much in there for 3 hours,you will need to keep a tight hold on them,after attending many business training courses they always have one member that will not shut up and let things move on,
Haha classic, I guess I just have a way with small things.
