    Found out monday I needed to pass my Cisco Storage Networking exam by the end of the week. Was mobbed by work monday and tuesday, so had yesterday to prepare for it.

    Tested today at a little before 10 (I was scheduled for 1030)

    Passed it with 980/1000 now I have another one to take next week.

    Why did I go into this career again?

    I got my A+, N+, and cisco crap when I was in HS (edit: actually I think cisco was first semester of city college). Then I realized I couldnt stand being indoors all day and got a real job LOL. I'm so out of the computer stuff now, I feel like a ra-tard when looking for RAM nowadays.....

    well SRT/C doesn't pay sheet...

    Since changing jobs (when I moved from Internal Network Admin to Network Engineer as a contractor) I haven't even been motivated to ask for a raise. If that can tell you how I am getting paid :)

    Outstanding! Here's what I need:

    Running XP Pro
    Using Acronis TrueImage Home for image backups that are file accessible (not sector by sectory and don't want to backup the raw disk).

    I want to do full disk encryption. All the time. Login password for key would be fine. Something like WinMagic's SecureDoc. got a solution for that? :D
