well maybe you, but for a lot of people it shows they *KNEW* something, and that something was enough retained knowledge to pass the test. Maybe they forgot most of it during the next 6 months they were looking for a job because they didn't practice(or in some cases perhaps they had no ability to practice due to lack of equipment to practice on). shit I started learning perl in november, took a 2 month break and about a week ago started on a new perl book and saw that I had forgotten a ton of stuff, just because I'd barely touched it in 2 months. at the same time, at my previous job I spent more then my fair amount of time interacting with DEC Tru64 systems for the first few months of my job(more then 2 years ago), but now I couldn't even name the main admin tool that OS has(their equivilent of admintool, smit, sam etc). tru64 4.0 is selling for $17 new so maybe I'll pickup an alpha somewhere and try it out again.. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
