Hey Jeremy,
Congradulations. There's no high that's higher than finally earning your
ccie #. Hopefully, it won't be too long before I join the ranks.
It sounds like you had a home lab. Did you have Cat 3550's in your lab? If
you didn't, how did you get up to speed on the 3550? Also, if you had only
used the practice labs from one vendor, which one do you feel had the best
labs?
Congradulations again and thanks for any recommendations you can give us
ccie wannabe's. Jim
