I give my hat to you for taking the bull by the horns and trying
The secret of success lies in not giving up
(you don't even know untill the outcome)
.......You sure did scare the hell out of those of us who haven't even had thei

All,
Just got back from the lab at RTP. Won't know the results until
tomorrow. But unless they are pretty generous with the partial credit, I
don't think I made it. The amount of material was ridiculous. 20 pages in
all. Looking back, I think my day 1 book from April was about 14 pages.
With the lack of cabling, addressing, and drawing, you'd think it'd be about
the same difficulty. But I had a bunch of sections with just 1 caveat that
made the whole section twice as hard. Really obscure stuff on about 3 or 4
sections. Stuff I've never seen mentioned on this list. If I had to guess,
I think a reasonable amount to time for this would have been about 10 hours.
I've got to hand it to you guys/gals who've passed the 1 day. With all I've
learned since my last attempt in April, I thought this would be easy. I'm
kind of at a loss on how to prepare again in the future. I guess speed is
what I'm lacking. (Funny, I ran cross country in high school :) Maybe I'll
try the ECP1 class (or it's successor) and see if Val or Bruce can figure
out my problem. This is really depressing...
Sorry if I bored you with my misery,
Chuck
P.S. Sorry if I scared anyone taking the lab soon. Maybe I just
accidentally got both days of a two day lab, and they forgot to take several
pages out...
