I think that was covered in my first paragraph... "Free adivice is
generally worth what you pay for it. Many times advice you pay for
is worth no more. And conditions change with markets and local
laws. Your mileage may vary."
The certifications in question were the MSCE, Oracle and A+ tests.
Overall, whatever their real merits, the MSCE and Oracle
certifications do help one get a job. And the A+ helps, but not as
much.
