With due respect, may I repeat my my post from 25 days ago?
===========
I've noticed that the rate of new CCIE #### posts on the list have dropped
dramatically compared to the last month.

This must tell something to the lucky people who got their number before Oct.
1st. with the easy two-day format.
===========

Now, all we have to do is work harder and learn more and earn a certificate
that has a better value.
Also, we must make sure that people do not confuse us with those other CCIEs!

All,

        Just got back from the lab at RTP. Won't know the results until tomorr
ow.
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...
