hp got bombarded at hpworld about the need for training!  the poor
lady representing hp's training division kept asking how we wanted
the training delivered -- thinking she was asking *or* questions --
finally figured out we were answering in *and* mode :-)  during sig
sysman, i did bring up the concern about certification.  hp seemed
interested but were so overwhelmed by the 'cry' for training that
i suspect it will be forgotten <sigh>.  i will have to say i agree with
gavin -- training is sooo much more important at this point that
i feel comfortable with letting the certification issue 'ride' at this point
(not forgotten, mind you...).  now, if this list disagrees with me --
i'm sure we'll all know about it soon :-)        - d
