For instance, I've seen your posts where you said you learned some good concepts while studying for the mcsa MCSE back in the 90's.

That's true. But mostly I learned about the parts that weren't related to them, and mostly from third party sourced like Ed Tittle. Microsoft's own materials weren't bad, but not on par with good educators.

In one of the companies that I worked, they have an "Initial Test" for any Engenier;

They ask you, Are you an Engenier?, then do a Patch cord, here are the tools, make 1 with B Standard.

That is the way to show that you are a good engenier... jajaja

I installed a few of the wall racks with filters on the bottom and fans on top for exhaust like the ones Jared mentioned. Don't remember the brand or price. The equipment stayed very clean and cool. Hard part is remembering to change/clean the filters regularly depending on the environment.

That is what calendar events are for.

The only thing I would not run over wifi is VoIP phones, not because of security but stability on the network.

I've been doing this all week (and I'm in India) without issues....

Yes, I know we have discussed this.
