techrecoveryDear Luser,
Yeah, I went to MCSE bootcamp too..back in the NT 4 days as a matter of fact. Windows 2000 was still called "Windows NT 5" and was in very early beta by the end of the course work.
I regularly cracked the instructor's machine during lectures, despite his best efforts to lock it down. He didn't even know it was me until I started laughing hysterically at pulling out random contents of the system32 folder onto his desktop during a powerpoint presentation causing a pretty major crash of his PC. Sure, I did minor things, too..inserting slides with wacky sounds into presentations, cracking the firewall so my mate and I could play internet games while we were supposed to be learning all that great marketing material about NT 4..stuff like that...
He bought me lunch for the last month of class when he figured out all the computer trouble he was having was because some little shiat (me) was pwning him. The last day I formatted his drive for him..unfortunately he was still trying to use it.
So yeah, I've got NT 4 wallpaper. Those courses simply taught me that I didn't want to be a MS admin.. It was the biggest waste of (my employer's) $8,797.50 (+$600 for tests IIRC), EVER. I wasn't working for that company 6 months after completing the course. I turned away from the "Microsoft Family" (that sometimes reminds me of the Jonestown family in a lot of ways) and started learning Linux for real. I had dabbled in Linux here and there in the past, and after the MCSE training fun, I realized my skill sets were better suited for the CLI.
So yeah.. ask me if I really give a damn that you're an MCSE. Go ahead, ask me. Wait, I'll save you the trouble. NO, I don't care.
What I *DO* care about is that Microsoft is "granting" you an MCSE and you don't even know the keystrokes to copy and paste. That makes me sad..but then I fondly remember my 6 months of MCSE boot camp, spending my Saturdays hacking the living shiat out of that guy's computer..and I laugh..so thanks for the laugh, pal. I wasn't laughing at the fact that my 4 year old knows how to do something on the computer that you don't, oh MCSE God..I was laughing at the days gone by..when pwning a Microsoft box was just as easy then as it was now when an idiot like you is running it.
No love,
