A few years back, I interviewed an MCSE for a network engineer
position. Our environment was strictly 100-BaseT/Cat-5, so one
didn't absolutely *need* to know anything else, but he was coming
from working (as a civilian contractor, as I recall) on some Air
Force base where they had a mix of 10-Base2 (co-ax) and UTP at
10 and 100 Mbps.
So between having apparently passed the Networking Fundamentals
requirement, and working daily with the mix, I figured he ought
to be able to name at least *one* characteristic difference between
10-Base2 co-ax and 10/100 Cat-5. I would have taken almost any one.
He couldn't, and that was one of two reasons he didn't get the
job. (The other was that he considered himself too valuable as a
"network designer" to crawl under a desk to plug in a cable....)
