I am glad the CCIE test is easy now....It means more people will go straight
for the CCIE and skip the CCNP and that means my CCNA/CCNP will be more
valuable because there will be less of them :-) WOOHOO!

1) The pass rate is higher, and
2) The test is easier.

Yup. And back when these resources weren't around, the CCIE wasn't as
hard as it was in late '99 because of fewer IOS features to exploit for
"landmines" and such.

I think it's amazing that since 1993, the CCIE has grown from 1024 to
6890 or so. Coming up on 6,000 numbers given out in only 8 years. I just
want that trend to continue.
