This is even more true on the west coast due to the fact that CISSP
tests have traditionally been held almost exclusively in the eastern
US.  Looking at the isp2.org website however I see tests in San Jose,
Dallas and Denver in 1998.  This is a good start however...  while
there is one test on the West coast there are no review seminars
farther west than Minnesota.
