Congratulations Joe,
You deserve every bit of it, unfortunately my employer,
the United States government, although they can spend 7 + billion on an
email system that cannot deliver messages in a timely manner [ you know who
you are! ], cannot afford to buy me a ccie practice rack for probably less
than 10 K
[ we have 5 spare ATM switches ]
so I have decided to throw in the towel after 1 lab failure. I just can't
afford to do it wit my own funds anymore. But I don't feel too bad about
it. I know I have taken the process as far as I can got on a govt. salary.
It's their decision not to want a ccie on staff. Once again congratulations
to you.
Jerry
