I guess the study guides helped then.
Also, I guess you can read 900 pages & do the practice labs & take the exam in less than a month.
Congratulations man. (8+)

Mark


I read about 20 pages, forgot the practice labs & just watched the CBT (all 40 hours of it).

Educated guesses may have helped.

I did the cert tests back when Windows 95 was first released. Without having ever used Windows 95 or done anything more than browse the MS website and read reviews, I managed to get 98% in the tests! :lol:

That said, the product pallete is a lot more complex these days...

Well done Sas!

This is also one of only five identified situations in which a vuvuzela is actually appropriate.

In other news, one of the RAF-ers has brought a vuvuzela into the office. I sense it could be a long day.

Post about voice (and handwriting, to a lesser extent) recognition in computers.

I'm going to a wedding in October, a friend of the GF's. Typical, it'll be exactly a year anniversary to me wearing pretty much the same suit for my dad's funeral.

Funny fecker, he did it on purpose. :D

If he did it on purpose he would have done it on the same day just to cause a scheduling clash ;)

Why I like the X404 forums.....

The firewall at work doesn't know it's a "social networking" site, so it doesn't block it like most sites.

This car insurance lark is getting too easy.

Got my renewal quote through, which was - surprisingly - £40 down on last year. As ever, I went on the bargain hunt, and the same company came up in the comparison site at another £40 off.

On the blower for a few minutes, changed some details, and job's a good 'un.

I miss the Annual Car Insurance Hunt, you know.

I got nearly £200 off mine this year with some haggling (same insurance company)

Pays to haggle effectively :)

To be fair, there's not much further they could have dropped. I got it down to £175-ish, fully comprehensive, protected NCB. I'm not complaining.

Hmm. Well, I think I'm happy to pay for some kind of service. :lol:

Besides, I reckon she just got very lucky.

So, I've just updated my copy of Firefox to 3.6.4, and I'm greeted by this -

Which is nice.
