[QUESTION] Anyone attend Tufte courses?

I went to it some years ago in Palo Alto. I thought it was a day well spent. As 
I remember, there was still a lot of material that wasn't in the books (and the 
books are part of the course package, and those in themselves are almost 
worth the trip); apart from the fact that Tufte is an amazing presenter. I had 
food for thought for many weeks afterwards and even now his books take a 
prominent place on bookshelf. 

YMMV of course, but I would certainyl recommend it 'even' for non-graphic 
artists.
