Slightly OT: Question about differing vendor equipment.

This is a slightly off-topic question, but I think that it does have
some small degree of relevance. How many of you are familiar with other
vendor equipment that performs the same tasks as some of the equipment
on the Cisco lab? Do you feel that the familiarity with this other
vendor equipment has better prepared you for the 'theory' side of
understanding the technologies, and not just the practical?

I'm asking this because I'm quite proficient with other network vendor
equipment (specifically, Netscreen/Extreme/Ascend/Adtran), and I think
that I've come to a better understanding (overall) of the subjects
discussed in the labs and the R&S written, simply because of having to
learn the concepts and apply them to different platforms. Does anyone
else have any similar experiences to share?

Just curious,
Robbie
