Oh, come on.  I'm a CNE, but arguments like the one above are plain
silly.  Are you talking about questions like 'which menus follow which
menus', or are you talking about misspelled names of protocols, or
perhaps even questions with WRONG answers (there is one in the TCPIP
section).  CNE tests are short-term memory tests and often are geared
toward Novell courses and not real and practical knowledge.  I have a
CNE because it is still advantageous to have it, but let's not get
wrapped up in beliving that it means much to people other than
non-technical HR folks who are looking for some official assurance that
you know your stuff, so that they do not have to make that decision.

BTW, I edited out all the *jobs* groups from the newsgroups line.
