oakely, doakly. I think you've answered a few of your own questions. since
you're retired and doing this as a hobby, I think we can say that the fate
of the free world doesn't hang in the balance of which ones you pick. I
normally tell students to choose the electives that would be most
beneficial to the organization you work for. In your case, go for what
interests you. You mentioned security, ok. Helpdesk? Look into what's in
the MCSA (70-218) or the new MCDST track. And maybe you should brach out
into other things. Have a look at SQL or Exchange. You may find that the
skills you learn in these subjects will benefit you in your current
position, give you an insight into some underlying Windows technology and
be just plain interesting.
