Try wiring breadboards to program the darned things. Then we had advances and got to flip switches on the front panel to program. Then we got Cassette decks, punched cards and all kinds of new technology. From: Steven M.

Autoexec.bat Config.sys Win.ini System.ini I tell you what though... people who lived before device drivers were something the manufacturer supplied have NO IDEA the pain involved in sorting thru control-codes to get a printer to work with Autocad for DOS, or yet another modem initialization file for a terminal program...

He was very disappointed in the test. It seems that it deals more now with IT professionalism than technical expertise. An example question he gave me was, " You are working in a company's Payroll department and notice some confidential papers on the desk. What do you do?" It wasn't like that when I took it. From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2010 9:24 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: CompTIA certs You've gotta start somewhere, though. I started with A+, Network+, and I-Net+ just to get some (relatively) easy letters after my name. That was a few years ago, and hopefully the A+ exam in particular has changed. I had been building and repairing computers for years when I took it, but still had to study a fair amount because I found that the exam wasn't quite aligned with the real world. Which I guess can be said of most exams.

With 15+ years, you should be looking at more advanced certification.

Just looking into maybe getting a few. There's a "whiff" of outsourcing in the air.

Also, keep in mind that since CompTIA is vendor-neutral, they can't go to the granularity that a vendor specific exam tends to cover. > NOTICE: Florida has a broad public records law.
