Hi

I see more people getting their numbers at RTP. That's probably because
more people go to RTP. I am not sure that the passing rate is different
depending on locations. If it is, everybody will certainly want to know
which location has the highest. :-)

To some people including myself, the lack of sleep affects the physical
condition more than others. When I travel eastbound, I lose one or two
hours. I usually couldn't fall asleep until 1 or 2AM in Hotel room and I
have to get up by 5:30 to be at Cisco by 7A. I could sleep only about 4
hours, which is enough for some people, but not for me. If you go to SJ,
you gain one or two hours, which is a big advantage to me.

Think about 8 hour of intense work with a full concentration the next
day. You certainly want to have a good start in the morning. I believe
the physical condition is certainly a factor, especially if you are 40+.

Good luck.

B. Kim

Hello all,

As my (planned) date looms closer, I'm starting to try and get an idea
of where I'd like to take my lab. I live in Birmingham, AL, so flying
(or even driving) to RTP would be far cheaper than flying out to San
Jose, but it also means that the lab would effectively start at 6:15 CDT

for me (I'm definitely not a morning person). I had read quite some time

ago that the two labs used markedly different software for terminal
emulation, in addition to the atmosphere being fairly different, so I'm
curious to know what the actual environs are like. I don't know if
talking about it would be an NDA violation - I certainly hope not, I
just want to get some kind of idea of what to expect when my first
attempt comes (Sep 9). Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Robbie
