I agree.
I will spend my last dime (opps, already done that.)
I will read books thicker than large city phone books. (done that)
I will have no social life, other than with other lab rats.
I will configure osfp, nat, ipsec, bgp and route maps in 2.3 minutes.
I have more networking equipment than my local baby bell.
I will be a CCIE.
BTW, I just picked up a NFR 3550, nice box.

Well said, Jason!!! The CCIE lab is ANYTHING BUT a read-a-book-and-pass
certification. In fact, I bet if you poll those who have failed at least
once, I bet ALL of them would say that lack of hands-on practice was
their
demise.
Dave, get your head out of your posterior and realize the CCIE lab for
what
it is...the hardest and most prestegious cert there is!!! This ain't no
Microisoft Cert! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
