Hi Tony,
You're absolutely right - a CIM is no replacement for the real thing. That
I know but that doesn't negate all it's usefulness.
The reason I'm interested in this CIM is because I expect it will provide me
with a reasonably good foundation in a relatively short time. It's
precisely because it doesn't allow me to get into too much trouble and
provides good troubleshooting pointers for the basic stuff that I figure
I'll save alot time and frustration figuring out the basics.
On the other hand, I don't expect I'll be an expert on the topic after going
through it - just competent on the fundamentals which is a good start. Raj
