All,
Just got an email a couple of days ago saying that a company called
www.trinetnt.com has bought all Hello Computers assets and is providing
the services that Hello did in the past. I have not checked the site
yet.....but this may be a way to get another work book for the SP track.

NetChild,
HC is in fact Hellocomputers. The rumor is HC lost
their abilities to sell Cisco related test preparation
material due to NDA violations. I got their workbook
and still have access to the answer key but as stated
by others, the answer key seems very incomplete. I
guess IPExpert is your sole choice for an SP lab
workbook if you hadn't gotten one before the
"downfall" of HC. Good luck!
