There is also a website called Brainbench.com that does certifications for everything you can think of. I have passed three of their exams and they are every bit as difficult as the Microsoft exams.
They send you a certification, and they only cost $19.95 per exam (instead of $100 for Microsoft last I checked).
They are a viable certification organization that many larger companies are beginning to look at for certification. Jim Lunde

We all agree your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough?
