I think they are more worried about the idea that people download questions
to magically obtain certifications which they may or may not be qualified
for.

I think we've all seen that. In fact a search of the archives will show
many discussions of this over the years in different fashions.

So while it's a very real problem, I think the article went a little too far
in crucifying Ethan. I really don't know anything about Ethan and haven't
ever worked with him, but it seems a little harsh to devalue all he has done
based on his posting, but he DID admit to using the TK product! I seem to
recall people in here getting flamed for even asking about "real labs" let
alone admitting to using them.

Where does the line get drawn?

Just a thought.

Scott

certguard is afraid of testking because they are too stupid to figure out
how to download it...

They should be more worried about learning how to use cisco hardware than
worrying about what certs other people have...

lets see their list certs!

This Network World post has a link to a comparison of TestKing and the
TESTiT product I helped create for NetMasterClass. The link no longer works.
Anyone have access to that comparison?

Thanks,
