Case in point. I recently got to take a "class" (more like a promotion) on
Netware 4 by a local company that's *the* local Netware training company
and support center. I didn't know Netware 4 before, only 3 (not from
classes, but from working with it).
The guy doin it, from what we were told, was an expert.
Hell, it was *easy* to spot where he didn't know what he was talking
about. Some of the things were plain wrong, and it was obvious to me.
Don't give me "classes". Most of them are not worth the paper they're
advertised on.
