Can't get a copy of my MCAD .net Charter Member and MCSD.net Early Achiever Certification PDF

Hi,

back in 2001 & 2002 when .net FX was just released, I study very hard and put a lot of time to be among the first to master the new .net platform. And as many others MCP who already earned the MCSD on Visual Studio 6, I was "invited" to take all the pre-release .net BETA Exam. And despite the lack of learning material at this time and using the pre-beta release of Visual Studio .net (FX 1.0), i get reward for my countless efforts by passing with success the 7 .net BETA exams. (i.e. I tok 7 exams cause I did the base MCAD path twice in VB & C#.) After everyone got their BETA exams scores, Microsoft states that worldwide only 105 peoples got the beta MCSD.net. As a result, MS congrat us with a "Special" MCSD.net certificate with a distinct "EARLY ACHIEVER" wording and signed by Bill Gates. But since the new MCP dashboard give the SAME MCSD.net Certificate PDF to everyone, how can I get a copy of my (SO HARD TO GET) "EARLY ACHIEVER" and signed by Mr. Bill Gates ? Cause when it's time for me to make a difference or point at this distinction, the only way to proof that I was among those 105 it's by comparing the Certification earning date in my transcript with the official MCSD.net release date. (i.e. No one takes time to check that =( )

Thanks a lot and have a good day =)
