Some years ago I did have an MS bit of paper.  However, it vanished
one night without any explanation of where it went to.  So, ever since
then I haven't bothered to do anything about it.  The records for the
certificate were changed as well.  So, no proof of ownership.

The colossal price of MS exams is such that I think it's better to
spend the money on a University degree in technology rather than throw
it away on MCSE or something similar.  I also get the feeling that
RHCE isn't really much better much as I would like to say otherwise.

Oh yes, there's some interesting stuff in the trade paper this week. 
Unfortunately ICL have had some bad figures and things don't look
good.  I'll send some more stuff about other things in the paper later
on...  www.vnunet.com/News

Thanks
