RE: switching exam [7:43038]
Please, people, snap out of the Boson trance. I can't take it anymore. :-) I just had a discussion with Paul Borghese a few days ago about how Boson always gets through the filters but other vendors don't. Hopefully, that will change soon and we'll start to see better and less expensive options come through the list without being filtered. In fact, I wonder if this will make it through the filter since I'm saying something "bad" about the Boson cult? :-) Please proceed with flaming, ragging, name calling, tar and feathering, etc. However, one of these days you'll thank me from preventing you from getting that Boson tattoo on your chest ( on the ankle for the ladies) :-) If you're up for an argument, please email me offline :-) Shawn K. > -Original Message- > From: NetEng [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 5:18 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: switching exam [7:43038] > > just took that switching exam: 79 ?'s, 90 minutes and 699 to pass. pretty > easy test, boson's were great as usual.

Re: switching exam [7:43038]
I don't think I could have gotten through my tests without Boson's help - other than being expensive, what is wrong with them? I don't think I see a cult here but I do see the proven track record and the quality name Boson has developed for themselves. High price is a direct result of high demand - simple economics.

RE: switching exam [7:43038]
It's sad, the true signs of brainwashing :-) I never said anything was wrong with them. The proven track record comes from the fact that they've done a great job marketing their products. Boson has quality products, BUT, BUT, BUT, as I've mentioned before, there are other companies out there that offer materials that are just as good if not better than Boson and the prices are about 80% cheaper. I would mention the companies, but I have a financial interest in these companies and I'd get flamed to death (believe it or not, I also have a financial interest in Boson/Quizware, but not anywhere near as much as I'd like :-) ) You can't really blame Boson for their high prices because they have to pay a percentage to their authors. Plus, like you said, people have been brainwashed into believing that Boson is the only company out there, which allows Boson to charge higher prices. So, look around a little and take a chance on some of these other companies. Don't worry, no one is going to yell at you for spending less money on certification materials :-) I'm just trying to save people some money while at the same time hoping that I make a little, as well!
