For the sake of comparison.

Sometimes in life, you have to paint a picture, so that others can accurately understand a point you are trying to make. I am going to start painting now.

Lets say, that you are a fortunate person, and you spend your daily commute behind the wheel of, oh, lets say a Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Quite possibly the pinnacle of the development of the motor car as we know it.

You get to drive one of these everyday. You are good with it, you know how to extract what you need from it, you are one with it, and you enjoy it. You are never surprised, and never let down.

But then one day, you are required to take a drivers exam, because someone thinks that you need to prove your worth and ability. You show up for your test, keys to your Prancing Horse in hand...and they inform you that you will be driving this:

A 1985 Yugo. Russian Made, whose pinnacle was the addition of fuel injection.

That is about what it is like taking my current round of registration exams. I use AutoCAD, and am required to use the NCARB program for these tests...the equivlent of a newly injected '85 Yugo.

Oh yeah, took the second one today. It was a blast. Two down, one to go.
