I think you should be proud of it...it's a good way to learn about
something new if you're already a computer person.  I got my CCNA
witout touching a router, but then I found a job that was router
based and learned a whole lot more.  I'd have been in trouble 
without the base knowledge of the cert.

What gets me are the "Get your MCSE without touchingi or owning
 a computer!" advertisements.  There's just something horribly,
horribly wrong about that. :)
