I dont understand. Everyone says "Talk to your local dealer". Did You? Pick up the phone and talk to them. Everyone is busy these days, but I'm sure if you give them a call and explain what your looking for, and what your willing to do to learn it, They'll work something out.

A couple of suggestions:
1) Get a demo. Have a look at the software. Meet the people.
2) Try not to tell them how bad they "Suck".
That might not be the best way to get them on your side.

Good working relationships are founded, where everyone gets what they want and everyone treats the other with respect.
