I'm curious as to how much interest there'd be in this, but I'd gladly pay a resonalble fee for training on the V. Perhaps a Regional Network of Dealers (or White's themselves) could easily set up training seminars in 4-5 locations in the US. This could be a nice little money maker (at least it'd pay for the trainers time and travel) but more importantly, there'd be folks who could spend a Saturday learning their machine at the hands of the experts. You publicize it on the forums, and send a postcard to the registered users. Just look at the number of folks who participate in DIV and what they spend to participate. Yes there's the manual and the DVD and the forums but lets face it, you just can't beat hands on training.
When users become more familiar with their machine, they talk it up on the forums and at their local MD clubs. I guarantee you that White's will end up selling more machines.
You could package the training over a day or day and a half whereby you have blocks of time designated to various machines. i.e. MXT 8:00 - 11. DFX 12:00 - 3:00. V3 3:00 - 6:00...you get the picture.
For what MD'ers are paying for their machines these days, I think you'd get enough folks that would utilize the training if it were offered. Am I way off base here?
