         I have a certification as a BSEE. I didn't have to explain what 
it means. It is a four year effort in a college to get a BSEE and I had 
people coming to me wanting me to work for them in 1962.

     The RHCE is good certification too. It takes time and you have to 
do things to get it. It makes you smart in Linux.
