Funny thing, when we started this Andover Test, many people proudly described why they did not need to take it. Fear of a bad grade dating back to high school, one would guess. We believe many people do not want to discover they have counterfeit product. (Would you want to discover, for example, that your coveted Cisco V2 card is counterfeit?) Anyway, here are some standard reasons we've heard from others for not wanting to take the Andover Test.

Just remember: Six months or so you'll have to lay out thousands of dollars or someone else will pass you. And it is thousands of dollars. $5000 is common for a 'high end' game PC.
