Subject: New CCIE in town
Hello all,
I don't believe I get to write this EMail, but finally I have 13685 reasons
to do so!
First my thanks, and then I will describe how I learned.
First I would like to thanks my wife, Iris. In the past six month see must
had been thinking that I have an affair... But my lover wasn't a woman, it
was Jeff from www.bradshawlabs.com. Jeff, thanks you for your wonderful
rental racks, your great service and the your wonderful workbooks. The ATM
workbook worth it's weight in gold!
Next I would like to thanks you, the members of groupstudy. It is one of the
most interesting mailing groups I know of, and the community is so nice and
helpful. And special thanks to Brian (X2), Scott Morris, Kenneth and Howard
for their detailed answers.
Next to last thanks, I would Like to thank IBM for paying the bills.
Last but not least, I would like to thank Internetwork Experts lab which
made the difference!
Now the history. It all started in Dec 2003 when the first CCIE Bootcamp was
held in Israel, and it happened to be my company, IBM, who arranged it. But
IBM policy is that IBM's employees get only avail seats, so I managed to be
only on half of the bootcamp.
Then I started to learn for the written exam. It was my first Cisco exam (I
don't have any CC.*), and it wasn't easy to pass.
On the way I read CCIE IP routing vol I and II. CCIE practical guide vol I
and II. Cisco technology support documents and groupstudy...
Then I started with IPExpert work book, thing was calm until lab 36. At that
point I think lots of people get cold feet about the CCIE thing...
I failed my first attempt on June 2004. Until now I don't know why, I don't
think that my last time was any easier.
After I failed, I realized that my problem was wording. So I decided to
tryout Internetwork Expert. Their solution guide was just what I needed.
For me it was a "wording guide". I done almost all the labs and I felt very
prepared.
What next? I don't know. Until a year ago I was system programmer
(Mainframes/Unix/M$/Security) and I miss it allot, especially the big iron.
So I hope that I will be able to do more system stuff.
Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistake which my speller failed to find,
or maybe it is my responsibility ?!
My real Email is dans @atatatat@ il ...doooot... ibm ......doty--..-- com il
is part of the email (il=israel)
Once again, thanks you all!
Dan Shechter.
