Hm, most of Microsoft's MVP seems to be people who never used a conputer. At least that is my feeling after landing on answers.microsoft.com a couple of times.

#23Congrats - but let's be honest - most people don't ask and don't care. I have have tens of certs and a few recogs through the decades and every time someone actually see or hear about it or them they're all surprised...
Just go at it for yourself.

That’s an insult to Ferengi. Rule of Acquisition #3: Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to. Rule of Acquisition #57: Good customers are as rare as latinum. Treasure them.
> Treasure them.
this has a bit of a "To Serve Man" twist: you lock up treasure in a box, and keep it away from others
