And just took it again today.  How times have changed, all about memorizing which windows app does what as opposed to learning IRQ/memory locations.



You kids don't know how good you have it.

I took it... oh, gosh, 20 years ago.  "What does IBM stand for?"

It was a joke.

Just because you have those certs doesn't mean you know the job though.

If any job posting has those listed that isn't an entry level job I wouldn't even both applying because the people there are most likely fucking morons.

My A+ was July 1998, if we're keeping score that makes 16 years.

I took it back in '97.  There were 3 tests, only 2 were needed for certification.  I took the core (general hardware, with some Mac stuff and DOS commands thrown in) and DOS and Windows environments.  The third was more Mac related, iirc.  System 7 was mainly covered.
