      @greydragon412 is british, and does not understand our American education system. A diploma, or rather High School Diploma is awarded when a student completes 12-13 years of school as mandated by Federal and state laws. After completing a year in Kindergarten, Grades 1-5 is Primary (Elementary), 6-8 is Middle (or Junior highschool in some places) and 9-12 is secondary (High school).

      @greydragon412 Well, yes... the HSD is required for Collage or university, and always a requirement for a Job. I have a HSD and was awarded state specific certification in reading and writing proficiency. I also just got my A+ Certification from Comptia, which is a ISO standard in PC repair and maintenance.

        @cabal Ohh, I've always wanted to be A+ certified. How does one go about doing that?

          @gangstashy Well, you will need to study for the test. There are several books out there and classes you can take, (but classes are expensive). I got a book from one of Comptia's certified vendors called GTS Learning. Then when you think you are ready, you need to schedual two tests. the 701 essentials and 702 practicals. After passing both tests, you get it after confirming your details on the cert tracker site.

                        @ladestitute i've used Win 7 a lot, every day at work for over a year, it's a better windows distro for sure, they copied Mac OSX bigtime on the interface, but it's still terrible in comparison, it hasn't been reliable at all, half the time I have to do work on my macbook because the windows computer is always failing at things

                            @cabal perhaps, but it ran nicely when it was brand new. I run it an extremely light system with minimal apps, most of my work is web based so there's no reason for it to run so poorly, except for it being windows of course, hehe.

                        @ladestitute i don't deny that they're more expensive but you get what you pay for with technology. The build quality is far superior. I have used a lot of macs and PC's over the years. PC are fast when they're brand new, but they continually slow down and develop system errors, whereas macs will stay the same as new for long time. After a year my work PC is a bucket of mud, but my macbook is just as fast as the day I bought it

                          @elind85 That's because Apple likes to control every aspect of design. PCs need to maintenance every now and then... Speaking of Macs, do they have certification courses for their maintenance needs? #

Everyone else is getting cable internet except me and my rural neighbors, thus cannot DL iso fast enough for me to even bother.
