    Updated class room to iMac M4 from Windows Surface

    Well, I just stepped up to an Alienware M18. Probably won't need anything more for about another five years.

    Lynn did do a good job with it (for as much as I got to see during the TTT), for sure.

    New CompTIA web site launch

    Ahh... yes. So in order to participate in the CE program to renew certs, as opposed to taking a test, you have to pay dues. That, I think you know about.

    No Tech+ ID card?

    Well, if you have a tall enough stack, glue them together, drill a whole through the center, thread a power cable through them and make a lamp. I considered doing this with a stack of old America Online trial CD's I had back in the day... https://www.instructables.com/Recycled-CDs-Lamp/

    No Tech+ ID card?

    CompTIA A+ Subject Matter Experts Needed

    If by SME, we're not referring to those that are part of the CompTIA Subject Matter Expert program, I would agree. But apart from that, as long as the content isn't compromising the content of an exam, I'd say this is a good request for any current instructor. /r

    New cert: SecOT+

    Speak for yourself, mate. I hit the gym three times a week. While I'm not as fast on my feet as I used to be when I was young and running 12 min two milers for the Army, I can still hold my own. Speaking of which, today's a gym day and the pool awaits - a new part of my routine.
