Yeah, the Miracle is your credit card company taking a $1,400 charge. That's
about the only obstacle I have had during my scheduling of lab dates with 3
or 4 weeks notice.

So as I have posted before many IT "starwars" types obviously say "sure I'll
be ready to take the lab in X months, on X/X/XX day, why not just book it
now I'll probably have the $$$ to pay for it by then too (if I stop buying
every game that comes out for the the XBOX 360 and Playstation 3).

So as you can imagine this often yields only a percentage of people that are
ready and do have the money to pay by 28 days out. I recommend you keep
looking....

Heya Group,
                    I just wondering, As we all know getting a lab seat at
the
moment is next to being a miracle. If the scheduling only lists lab days
within 180 days why don't we see vacant seats tomorrow on the 181th day etc
..Maybe I am confusing myself here but I would have expected that. I am
checking the schedule many times a day and nothing even looks like appearing
on the 181th day. I search today, 30 Sep 2007. It will search 180 days bring
it up to 28 March 2008. OK no free dates. I search tomorrow 1 Oct 2007,
shouldn't I see lots of vacant seats on the 29 March 2008 (well the 31 March
2008 actually as the 29th was a Saturday). Just a thought anyhow.

Cheers

John
