Hi Derek and others, Well, hmmm... I believe my original e-mail on this subject was sorely misunderstood. At least in my case, I wouldn't be going after tech certification if I weren't interested in technology! All I was saying was that, if a course is specifically intended for A+ preparation, a great deal of time shouldn't be wasted on items which are off-topic for that certification for the sake of advocating a particular technology... That's all! Note that I mentioned taking that course as a brush-up before plunking down the funds and taking the exams. I already possessed most of the required skills due to my experience with technology. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek Neighbors" To: Sent: Sunday, November 03, 2002 7:32 PM Subject: Community Certification (well learning at least)
