That's true, it doesn't.

It matters not to me, but other
visitors might like to know!

In the 8+ years I've been troubleshooting this stuff as a freelancer, and the
previous 10 years I worked in programming and tech support I have never been
asked about my education by anybody, not even when I was the lead developer
and chief software architect for a company making software to assist in organ
transplants.




Thank you for your comments, Dave.

I have a (now) friend in a nearby town here in Devon, England who reported much the same. He was an electronics technician in the army and he set-up a 'computing' business about 20 years ago when he left service. He told me when I asked him, about 5 years ago now, that I was only the second person to ask if he was in any way qualified for his role! Amazing!

Purely out of general interest, *do* you have any formal training and/or qualifications behind you?

Regardless, good to 'see' you here! :)
