Isn't ITIL the French word for "cash cow"? Or is it Spanish for "Take IT hostage"? Just curious.
Joking Of Course...... Well sorta. Andy L.

It is an F1 race simulator based on ITIL v3.0, whilst the airport thingy is still on v2.0 regards, Murtuza Bookwala ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ray T.

Airports are used because most people have been in one, and can visualize fairly easily the types of issues that could befall one, and the effects of those issues. I don't know that it's worth much $$$ if you already understand ITIL, but it's a great way to demonstrate to a team of people from the same company (including some managers) how they need to work together to accomplish the ITIL directive.

I still have two questions: (1) Is the content of BMC's ITIL foundation (WBT) course any different from the one offered by itpreneurs.com <http://itpreneurs.com/> ? Second one is less than half the price! For reasons I mentioned in original post, I believe the contents are the same. Can anybody confirm? (2) The "airport simulation" done in BMC's on-site course--is it beneficial enough for me to spend US $1000 extra (perhaps $1400 extra) to attend BMC's on-site course instead? (3) Some of you said the "airport simulation" was given away free. If I pull some strings, is it something someone can hand over to me (paper form? file?), or are we talking actual exercize to be done in a room with plenty of folks participating? I am familiar with ITIL. Got the basic cert done in 2000. Was called ITIL Essentials at that time. Used it sporadically. I just need to brush up, fill some gaps and get that piece of paper that says I am ITIL wise. TIA. PS: Somebody should study the way on-line group conversations work, how they evolve and morph. It's like making copies of copies of copies of copies of. On second thought, off-line isn't always that different. __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
