Aha! And that’s why I love this community! Learn something valuable every day. And, as I confessed, my training was long ago and technology has come a looonnngggg way! I mean, does anyone even remember what a dip switch was? I bet you do @DougDawson I think it’s awesome you have that much training, and even though I’m only a few years older than you, I’m sure you’re training was a lot more advanced than my seemingly outdated intel,
Even if you got your certs 5 years after mine, I got into it when AOL was king, Netscape was cool, and the internet was pretty much just taking off.
My focus was networking security, passive IDS was my passion. Wish I’d pursued those skills further. But it got to the point that it seemed you had to chase so many onion skins, certs from Intel, Cisco, the wide variety of OSs, I looked at the future and it seemed to go on and on.
I’m still a DOS weenie at heart, haha!!
