actually, to take 'gel's point one step further, the certfication game is crap. a lot of questions out there (no specifics, of course) would be quite answerable by RTFM. the fact that certifications don't really indicate the ABILITY to learn, but rather, the ability to memorize the way ONE group wants a certain procedure done.

I've done date calculations backwards forwards and upside down, for years, but when I come into it after not doing any for a couple months, I usually stare at the screen, with this open mouthed stare, and I'm like, "What?
