cheap microsoft

<rant>
so how much do you think microsoft corp. makes a year from their
certification progam(s)? the moc's, exams, books, the whole kunandrum.
probably a lot of cash, right.

so i get the mcsa 2003 kit in the mail. everything is exactly the same as
2000 kit. the only thing that's different is that on the actual cert, they
bothered to replace the "0" at the end of "2000" with a "3" to read "2003".

you would think they could afford to make new 2003 lapel pin's and/or give
you a different looking card. hey, maybe even re-design the cert a bit as
well. just a thought....;-(
</rant>

the last super model i picked up in the bar with my lapel pins didn't
believe me that i had a 2003 cert. she wanted to see a lapel pin as proof.
what am i going to do now Billy G.?

I didn't know you actually studied for anything..
I usually only see offtopic replies and flames [like this one]
(hee hee no offense)

Congrats, Rowdy

As for the new lapel pin, ask her if she can tell the difference between a
vintage 1947 and a 1950 wine, and bring her back to your place if she can't
and show the new certificate there.

actually the current ones still work very well at attracting the opposite

Actually, you're totally off the mark there. Trust me, no matter how
much you think it costs to build the exams, the certification
programs and the courseware, you're *way* under what it actually
costs.

BTW, a _conundrum_ is a puzzle. A riddle. A problem with no solution.
But it's not whatever you apparently think it is. :-)
