I agree about the alias feature. I love it. It is not so much the
savings in typing the stuff the first time. It's the savings in not
having to retype the things I would ordinarily mistype. For some
reason, my conf t often comes out as conft, which needs to be retyped.
When I first saw alias on this list, I thought it was just another layer
of memorization. Boy was I wrong. Everyone should try them.
Another valuable thing I have learned from this list is the chasm of
difference between older and newer IOS's. Even from 12.0 to 12.1 it is
amazing the difference. 12.0(6) does not take the useful show | include
that I learned from this list.
On the other handm the newer feature-rich IOSs run awfully slow on the
2500. You do a wr mem, and then have to move to another router and work
on something while you wait. It was amazing how fast the 3640 at NC
State's Cisco lab was when it came to wr mem.
This OSPF authentication stuff is a bear.
Best regards,
Thomas Larus

My 2 cents worth :).
I think that if you don't know the stuff, typing speed is irrelevant.
However, I found that using aliases increased my "nervousness
budget".
Meaning that not having to be constantly type type typing as many
characters was more relaxing for me, even though I am a good typist.
Of course, this is a very individual thing. Just experiment with the
aliases a little and see what affect it has on you.
