Passed CCNA with 962/1000
Hello all. I just wanted to share my excitement and joy of passing the CCNA with a score of 962/1000. 
It was my first time taking the exam. After 3months of hardcore studying, I can now relax & enjoy the s2k. Atleast for a week that is. I'll start studying for the CCNP after the 1 week break.

worthless certs!
Ability to get work done + Certificate = Work done and relative $$$
Inability to get work done + Certificate = Work not done, and time wasted on certificate
Inability to get work done + No Certificate = Work not done
Do I agree that certification is useless? No.
It tells employers (and/or clients) that you went to the effort to play ball with Cisco (or the relevant vendor). The ability to "play ball" (read: "jump through Dilbert-sized hoops") is the thing that folks look for. The nice thing about any certificate (from a Cert. of Participation through to a CCIE) is that it's a reasonably codified set of hoops.
