lol, just curious. Let's try and keep it under control. We all know how fired up people can get

I use a little Titanium G4 powerbook 500 MHz, 512MB (Mac OS) for all my graphic/web design and video editing.

 

MAC ? What does MAC stand for ??

Dual PII 733 - 768 mb ram running win2k server...

Doug

 

Doug is that server were hitting on??and what kind of ram???the reason i ask is because i just switched to DDR and think its well worth the upgrade!!

 

If you're already running with a Mac, unless there is some specific piece of Windows software you're trying to run, I would stay with Mac OS X...

If it weren't for my video games being on PC, I'd run MacOS-X fulltime.

...and for note, I work on computers as my living, so I do have some basis to know where I'm coming from.

Who is this Mac guy you keep talking about?

you guys have any micro soft certification??? Doug i would assume you do.

 

Any senior level computer people will know that for the most part, MSCE certification these days is kind of a joke. It is a way for MS to make alot of money from you by testing you on memorizing book facts without having any practical computer experience. When I interview someone that has MSCE certification to me, it just shows me that they can study, not actually do anything...

Interviewing is the key to picking out someone with key skills.

Unfortunately, there are ALOT of computer certifications like that...

Daniel

 

Daniel,i agree with you to some extent but i also believe that there is more to it then just studying,i should tell you that im am currently going to school for these certifications and i realize that im am not the most experienced person out there.In fact that is one of my concerns the fact that i have no experience and just decided to bite the bullet for a couple of years and just hope for some kind of work to gain some.I have a favore to ask,if you have a few minutes maybe you could email me a couple of examples of questions you would ask during an interview,also how do you feel about subnet masking would you require a new employe to know the binary math to do this or would you be cool with a calculator.Thanks for your help

Jerry -- if you do not have experience, having the certifications is definately a good thing, because it does prove that you do have a good starting basis. The main problem with MSCE exams, is they don't involve lab time... I may have been a little strong worded in my last email, but short of A+/Network+ (really easy tests), any amount of certifications is good thing in representing knowledge.

I'll try to shoot you an email tomorrow on what I look for, but it really depends on what you're applying for and what you're looking to do. I work with backend server hardware for online transaction apps and such, not desktop support these days...

I'm heading to sleep at the moment, so I'll write an email tomorrow.
