*grins*

  None of that is any different than a college or University degree, and
the associated entries in ones resume (or not for those of us who didn't
see the point of getting the piece of paper).  Any of these types of
entries are more of the 'what hoops did you jump through' type rather than
an indication of what they can do.

  I was thinking more about whether there was any 'behind the scenes'
commentary about it, any disagreements as to 'what' is tested, and so on.
I'm not expecting it will be any better than an MSCE which doesn't even
seem to guaruntee the person knows where the power switch is.
