We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Network+ or CCNA?

    I know the N+ is easier...hell of alot easier. But I do not want to do one or the other based on which is easier. I guess I mis-phrased that. I don't want to certify beyond my experience. I guess the CCNA wouldn't really do that I guess, as the material training is extensive.

    Considering Lappy as main computer.

    I made the transition some time last year, I don't game anymore, because I both lost interest in games, and really can't justify spending money on keeping a system up to date. I use a thinkpad T40, upgraded a few parts on it, and its fast enough for what I do. The most convenient thing about...
