What credentials? :-)

Brian Wohlgemuth, MBA, CCDA, former CCNA, HMDM, RSVP, XYZPDQ, TMI.....

Honestly, the best thing to do is get into the industry. I started answering tech support calls at Fort Wayne Internet back in 1995, that was my real baptism by fire...

Honestly, from the group of friends and associates I hang around (network guys from IBM, BAE, GE and Lincoln), they all speak highly of Cisco Certification. Saying that if they had to only go for one cert track, that would be the one to get as that knowledge is so high in demand. I hear its a lot h...

I would be interested (now that school is done) but I'd also recommend a Network + cert as well. Those seem to be in much higher demand lately...

I'll take a hell of a leader with a speech impediment over a slick politician any day.... I don't agree with McCain on everything, then again, I didn't agree with GWB on everything either. And as a fellow Chicago South Sider and White Sox fan, I still can't bring myself to vote for Obama. "Hope" is ...

All normal USB and Firewire drives that I have used worked flawlessly with Macs. The only ones that have been kooky are ones that have some sort of Windows-only encryption built in.

I didn't see the $1000....get the MacBook in black (personal choice). I think you will find it becoming your only computer within a short amount of time.

I have a MacBook...Black 13". Only thing I've done to it is put in a 250GB hard drive and max out the memory. I run parallels to have Windows available, when I rarely need it. Have Office 2007 running on that (what a piece of junk but oh well) in case someone sends me a Word doc. I also have iWork, ...

Various ideas.... #1. Java hangup. Update to the latest version of Java. #2. Background Program. Get someone who can go through your msconfig and take out what doesn't need to be running. #3. Wipe/reinstall. You could spend months fixing a computer, or you could spend a couple of hours double backin...

Then again, you could all go in and go "MOO MOO BEST BUY MAKES ME BLUE" and then goose step out of the store...
