That's Half Off?!  Week long boot camps cost less than that!

Ribbed them, I wished you'd deboned them entirely and feasted
on their spineless carcass.

I picked up a Solaris certification book which came with a CD_ROM
and, guess what, it's courseware was MS Windows based.  It amazes
me that they get away with this crap.  Perhaps the majority of
people pursuing UNIX/Linux certification really prefer to run
Windows and the population sample that I'm familiar with is just
a wild aberration.  I guess as long as they market it well enough 
and people continue to purchase it, they won't understand that 
anything's wrong.  

I'd ask which certification program they're supporting, but I 
really don't care.  Enough ranting.

Thanks Jim.  Keep us posted.
