Martin,
I only mentioned the Server 4.0 b/c i was amazed at passing the test the first time. I was in no way bragging. I am 53 & when i was in college, there were no computers.
I also was out of the country for some number of years & when i returned in 1986, i returned to another world. America was not the same country to me when i returned.
I eventually learned about computers & someone talked me into taking that course. It was not taught by a microsoft teacher & i don't even have any software that has the screens on it. We didn't even have labs that replicated the conditions for say, learning tcpip. So, at the age of 53, w/ no software, no real labs, no nothing actually, to pass the test the first time was AMAZING to me. I know very well for those of you out there in the IT world, my accomplishment means very little. To me it was major stuff b/c i know how nominal my knowledge is. AND, guess what, i passed the test & still know NOTHING. I would never consider doing anything in the IT field!
I attribute my passing of that test to LS. Yes, w/o PhRing & MMing & using the accelerated learning techniques i learned in the PhRing course........I WOULD HAVE FAILED
