Obiviuosly you guys have never actually taken the lab exam. I see
nothing wrong with Cisco promoting thier product and encouraging people
to pursue the CCIE. Only 3% of Cisco Certified peolple actually obtain
the CCIE level. It took me three years to get my number and I never saw
a braindump on the Internet for the lab exam. It still takes extreme
dedication, time and lots of $$$ to get the CCIE. Anyone who gets thier
number deserves it, the sky is not falling.

This is such bullshit, if Cisco isn't careful the CCIE will become like
the MCSE (Must Call Someone Else) CCIE (Cisco Certifies Idiots
Everyday). The CCIE should not be seen as a revenue generating part of
Cisco. But hopefully Cisco stops the insanity or there will be nothing
sacred and holy left.

Dear CCNP,
With the economy poised for recovery, now is the time to strengthen your
personal qualifications. Obtaining your CCIE. certification can provide
you with the edge you need to move your career to the next level.

b.. Passing the lab gives you personal satisfaction.
c.. Displaying your official CCIE number earns you the respect and
admiration of colleagues and employers.
Obtaining your CCNP was an important step in your career. Taking the
next step-earning your CCIE-will differentiate you, and establish your
mastery of complex technology. Commit yourself to achieving CCIE
certification this year.
Schedule your written exam now and enter a drawing for free CCIE
self-study materials from Cisco Press. Preparation is key to success on
the lab exam, and self-study with Cisco equipment is the most important
factor. CCIE Practical Studies, a two-volume set from Cisco Press (a
$150 value), is designed to help CCIE candidates prepare for the
hands-on lab exam and supplies lab scenarios for effective self-study.
To qualify for the drawing, you must be a CCNP in good standing and
register and take a CCIE written exam (any track) before June 30, 2004.
A passing score is not necessary to qualify. One two-volume set will be
awarded to a qualified CCNP each month. Those not chosen will remain in
the pool for drawings in subsequent months. Books will be shipped to
winners after verification that exam is complete. Cisco employees are
not eligible for this offer.
