actually, it gets you into the vip room at your local strip club and
entitles you to 2 free private lap dances with 1 happy ending.

If you ever attend a MS seminar or event, the card can/will be swiped to
down load your information for attendence reasons or verify certs, etc.

I believe the 'happy ending' is only applicable if you are wearing
your lapel pin as well.

Supposedly. But I have, and it wasn't.

I have and it was. Hopefully it was just a conequence of being in some
Podunk venue that didn't have the correct reader.

Also, when or if you vist some of the vendor booths at these hootenannies,
they will entice you to win "prizes"... but als o get your email address and
other info that you chose to reveal when you signed up (passport or MCP
member site). Remember, nothing free is actually free anymore. If you don't
pay in currency, you pay in access to your data...as we all know, Data "is"
the new currency.

Actually, the whole magnetic stripe thing is old and outdated. M$ is in the
process of implementing a new technology whereby they stamp a number on the
forehead of all new certified candidates. As I understand it, they are in
the process of obtaining a patent (#666) for this process.

Yeah sure, I suppose one could go that route. But I figure with the stamp
clearly visible on my forehead, I'll be more of a "babe magnet". Combine
that with the trusty ol' lapel pin and surely I'll be beating them off with
a stick in no time.
