Sam,
You are definitely a hot cake. Plus you've got your own domain name.
That elevates you to frosted hot cake. Do you plan on going for the
Security CCIE once it's released? That would round out your full cert list.
Now if I could only get those magical 4 digits...

Subject: Re: CCIE, is it difficult? is it valuable?
You are 100% right. CCIE without experience is not a money maker. A lot of
companies look at CCIE with other backgrounds line Novell, Microsoft, Unix
and Security. If you have combination of all then you are a hot cake.
