This is perplexing. A consumer will purchase a $3000 60" screen (eg, Samsung ES 8000) that is capable of stunning 1080p and run Netflix and Hulu on it. That's like taxying an F-22 down the freeway. This more than anything proves that cheap

Ahh. Sorry, that was a bit confusing. I meant to imply that a test would be an interesting question but not a substitute for experience or a degree. Re certs, there are powerful political interests working to preserve or extend the status q
