Late Night Update

Stick with me here, this gets a little complicated. A reader named Fadi commented, thank you very much, that MSCE typically stands for Master of Science in Civil Engineering, not Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. One is MSCE, the other MCSE. See the difference? Microsoft has a whole host of other titles with similar lettering: MCDST, MCSA, MCT and so on. These get too easily mixed up with genuine, university granted titles. Which is why I want to write about this subject this week, to go through as many abbreviations as I can, put them together as a list, so that it's easy to tell a persons' qualifications or background. Perhaps a few British titles, non-nobility, of course :-), as well. Stay tuned, at the end of this week this should all make more sense. And if you have any comments or contributions, please feel free to e-mail. Tom
