Re: state of the midrange (fwd)

[Chuck Lewis <CLEWIS@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On the topic of certification - agreed on the AS/400 front. It's hard to believe
that it is WORSE than MCSE if you have been reading the trades lately (become an
MCSE in TWO WEEKS !!!!!). Folks knocked Novell several years back (and rightly
so) for "paper CNE's" and they responded with the next level of certification 
but
MS has gotten that beat ALL to heck ! And if that (MCSE) is what AS/400
certification would grow into - forget it !!! :-)

JMHO
