I wondered about incorrect answers on some of these certifications.  One of 
the cert books I read had what I considered to be an incorrect answer 
to a question.  I work with people who are in training for their MCSE, A+, 
and one for her SCO (she paid the money for SCO started making such a 
fuss).  Many of these people are very smart people but they often miss 
simple things when working on hardware problems.  

Six years ago I did some work on a machine that had been taken into a 
shop where the owner had all kinds of certifications, the machine was 
a mess!  I know the client didn't open the system, they were too 
afraid of touching any electronics.

Some of the people in the A+ program know a lot and now have enough 
practical experience that they should be certified.  

Cheers,

Chas
