I remember someone pointing out a simple fact, it goes like this:

you have 2 applicants with the same amount of experience, both did fairly well in the interview, 1 has A+ only, the other has A+ as well as INet+. Who's gonna get the job??

I think the price for Comptia tests is absurd, but then again when you consider that they are good for life then they are worth getting. It's a pain in my arse when I have to re-cert for Compaq every 18 months, and Cisco every 3 years. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">
