BEN,
I liked that feature w/ the novell exams it proved youo knew the interface .
Why couldnt they use a router sim that wouldnt require testing centers to
have beefier equipment and keep exam costs the same . The Vendors would have
greater results but they also make money off of the paper candidates also
........my 2 cents
