I wish. I may end up paying for some of these myself - $50 would be
a lot nicer than $100.

Actually, MCSE+I is 9 exams. So I'll have 3 more to go. :( Only
one after that to MCDBA, tho.

Really? Everyone I've spoken to, either on the employee getting the
training side or the manager/employer paying for it says the norm is
to a) require a commitment from the employee to stay and b) a
commitment from the employer to raise the employee's compensation in
some way.

Yep, and that's why I'm feeling nothing but good about finishing
this cert and starting to look into my options.

Pen and wipe board, and a simple calculator. Not the most useful
thing for binary. Then again, I'm not too concerned about keeping
all the subnetting tables in my head. If there is one thing I
brought to my current profession from my former classical studies
it's a concern more for how to do things and where to find the facts
I need, rather than to commit every single one of them to memory. :)
Man, sitting here right now tapping on my laptop stinks, but I wired
the phone jack in my computer room for the 2nd line in anticipation
of getting my ISDN setup tomorrow. Sitting in the recliner is cool,
but I still need a decent mouse substitute and just a wee bit larger
keyboard...
