925 - Dollars spent on MCSE exams
650 - Dollars spent on one Dell Server with memory and
hard drive upgrades (VMWare, baby)
400 - Dollars spent on MCSE books
297 - The most difficult exam, but also the exam with the
easiest questions
15 - Number of times I uttered "you gotta be f'ing kidding
me" after reading a question on the 70-293 exam
14 - Number of weeks studying
7 - Exams passed on the Windows 2003 track
1 - MCSE lapel pin

Finally getting certified and ending of three months of
24/7 study hell... priceless.

2 weeks of studying for 7 exams? I wonder... I mean, TECHNICALLY, you
could learn the prduct in two days... if You really go at it,and you've
been using it for a long time. But 2 weeks. That's pushing it.

Am I the only one who noticed this??
