How about Microsoft vs Cisco certifications? I would suspect that there are more jobs that deal with servers/PCs than switches/routers. To that end, Microsoft certifications would seem to have broader use, no?

Hey John,

Thanks a lot for the suggestion...looks and sounds really interesting. I'll have our gurus look into it. Thats really cool you've already used it too. Lets chat about your project next meetup...would be interesting to hear about some of the hurdles you had to overcome.

You going to the geeknick on Sunday? Maybe I'll see you there.

Cory
