Joe:
I got certified (CDP) about 10 years ago, but have not really found it to be
that big of a deal.  It was easy to renew since I went to grad school and
got to use all those classes towards recertification.  However, from a
certified profesional, I'm not sure I'd expend the effort, unless you just
wish to do it for the "feeling of accomplishment" factor.  I really don't
think many of my clients really care one way or another.  BTW, from what I
remember (10 yrs ago), the test was really not very difficult, but that was
when computing was simple.
Just my 2 cents.
