LPI isn't Novell. LPI pays only a few thousand dollars to each Prometric and Vue to roll out its exams. Last time I checked, Novell's formats were _significantly_ more costly ($25,000+) -- let alone it has training and product sales to off-set those and additional development costs. Again, this should be shelved for 2007+. If anyone is willing to fund a 3-year startup to develop and market a practium-based exam in a vendor-independent organization to do such -- I'm all for it and would like to be employee #1. But then that would mean they would be interested in making money on training and other things to off-set those costs long-term. Something LPI doesn't do, but Novell does. -- Bryan J.
