I went and graduated from Stratford Career Institute in Computer Repair today. Grin I managed to have a 91% for my average, which I believe means I will receive a "Certificate with Honors". Cool Guess I can't call myself a rookie about computers anymore. Cheesy I just need to take and pass the A++ test up in Edmonton one of these days and I will be completely certified. Grin

I am planning on taking a course in business management next from them as soon as I have the tuition saved up. Wink

Go Nathan! Congrats dude.  Cool

So now you can help me with some troubleshooting:
When I buy a new hard disk, which is twice as big as the old one, it seems to fill up twice as fast.  Roll Eyes

Oh and I need an answer fast! I know I'm entitled to a fast response. I think I had a big mac some time last year, so that McD sponsored link probably has a little bit of my money in there. Wink

That would be the course, Tim.

Thanks all!

Oh, and Mind_nl, it's likely due to you downloading twice as much stuff as before...or doing more work. Nothing hardware related. Wink

So shall we test your knowledge Nathan  Evil

Don't worry I won't embarrass you with any hard questions that you couldn't answer but out of curiosity in the curriculum it states "Networking fundamentals and the internet & How the internet works"

Now I'm probably going to regret the answer but did you cover anything related to TCP/IP stacks, socket layers or port numbers, header responses, URIs'?

no it wasn't aimed at testing Nathan
I'm just curious to what level it was taught I found it odd that a course which seems quite windows centric would suddenly swap into the world of networks and was intrigued if they tried to cover the basics of server architecture and network architecture or just gave a very windows over view, i.e the closest they got to a TCP/IP stack was typing in an IP address?
Its a hell of a lot for to use Nathans own terms "rookies" to swap from happy land of GUI and wizards to command lines and lets face it the relatively complex maths behind network architecture. Looking at the course it seems to be roughly equivalent to a NVQ level 1 (taking by all ages, not school based) in the UK system. Network architecture is taught normally at the later end of a Advanced GNVQ (taken by all ages but also taught at schools 16-18yr) or A Level computing (more Computer science like then the NVQs taugh 16-18yrs) level there is a significant gap between the to hence the question.

It's probably limited to the relation between ip-address and subnet masks. I know I had an 'advanced' networking course at IBM and it didn't cover much more then that and the basics on the different protocols used in TCP/IP. The focus was more on how to configure and troubleshoot your systems network connections.
