    so you're both losers who didn't get laid in high school. good; advertise it. Let me guess - now that you're in your twenties or thirties you still don't get laid; unless you're one of those fat balding MS dorks who married the first girl that put out. I myself am not an MSCE at 24, and never will be. I do however have certifications for SunOS and HP-UX. Maybe it's because you're MS people that you didn't get laid... Naah
