-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I couldn't agree with you more Ted. I was just going to sit and watch the conversation. But, it's time to jump in. If any thing SOHK (School Of Hard Knocks) is the only cert I've ever needed. If I'm going to spend money or have my company spend money on training I'd look into something like Pine Mountain Group training www.pmg.com. Which is true network troubleshooting. We've purchased their training cd's and these sessions are amazing. They push getting back to fundamentals and take troubleshooting to a defined approach. I think that "being certified" has gone a little far. I know people who still talk about being Netware certified. Anyone can take a test, but it's putting that knowledge to use 6 months after that test has come and gone.
