True, but i got my MCSE paid for by the cpmpanir by working my way up as a
hardware engineer for many many years (Right back to the days off SIPPs for
ram chips) and i have yet to find anything atabler than a good Wintel Dual
SMP system (Except a Dual Linux Intel system) for home use...ive tried the
AMDs, there more trouble to me than there worth, i need my systems to be
there ready for things other than gaming 24/7, and i can`t afford to have a
machine suddenly not work for day because the AMD chip and motherboard have
decided to take a holidy (Happened with my k6-2 and not so long ago an
atahlon...I think its more down to the Motherboard than the CPU..)


The fact that you use your MCSE to backup arguments

Its not....damn ive been avoiding saling all these years incase i fell off
the edge

Nearly done that once...not funny at all...blow up several monitors doing
stuff like that too

it.

Don`t need it to get a job, just a formality so they can shunt me from
hardware to admin....they, thats the big "THEY" like to see there admins
names on  bits of paper on the wall to impress lesser mortals...
