whenever you buy it
designashirt only lets you do 6 colors for each picture, with a minimum
order of 6 shirts. iPrint will do full color photos, with a minimum order of
1 shirt, but their website will not let you publish it to the web, so i'll
post their stuff to WWW.MCNGP.COM.

WWW.MCNGP.COM. Huh?

I heard that is a great place for both the established IT Professional
and IT wannabees (no braindumpers please) to gather, commiserate,
and share in their common love of everything IT! A community where
the betterment of the IT industry and the pursuit of excellence is the
primary focus.

Did you take their certifcation exam? I passed it and got a certificate
that had my name spelled wrong. I got their t-shirt when I submitted some
suggestions for a published date formula. They never did publish it to my
knowledge, but they sent me the t-shirt anyway. Nice people.

Haha, what a coincedence. I passed their test about 2 weeks ago. Still
waiting for my precious certificate to show up in the mail, though.

Get yourself a h4xz0rd copy of CR. Use it twice.

Never. Never ever.

I think it was 19.95.

Apparently not, as it asked questions specifically about CR 8, when the
current version is CR 10 I believe.

When I took the test, I think it covered 6.0 when 7.0 was current. Looks
like he's falling behind.

Last I checked on BrainBench, they were still testing 7.0. They actually
were going to skip 8.0 and 8.5 and jump clean up to version 9.0 and asked me
to actually create the exam, but I declined as I have yet to get 9.0 to work
on my machine at all, since my databases are Pervasive, and for whatever
reason, 9.0 does not like Pervasive at all. I never did try 10.0.

Absolutely not. Entertainment value, only.

They have a lot of their cert exams for free, but you'd have to actually pay
for the (worthless) certificate. I had signed up with them in 2001 for a
full year unlimited for like $100 and I got about 200 certificates mailed to
me (I took some tests several times to try for higher scores). It was fun
while it lasted, but it made the spousal unit quite angry with me (Hi,
googling wife!) Needless to say, I won't ever be doing that again.
