    <p class="MsoNormal">It will appear I have become an ESRI salesman after reading this email but they have come up with some really educational resources and I have to give them their due. They are head and shoulders above other GIS companies in this regard
     and we should benefit when we can.<o:p></o:p></p>
    <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
    <p class="MsoNormal">So I wanted to share with you this incredible set of exercises from ESRI that will get anybody a great introduction to the practical use of ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS online. Go here to check all of it out:
