> All,
> 
> I passed yesterday at Brussels - 2nd attempt.
> 
> I flew home yesterday evening and anxiously awaiting my result, I stayed 
> up until 1, still no mail.  I woke up this morning at 6 to find it 
> waiting in my inbox.  A big deep breath later and I saw the mystical 
> number "15331".  I was nearly sick!!
> 
> I know for a fact that I could not have passed this exam without the 
> help and guidance of this group study forum.  When I first signed up to 
> group study, I was blown away by how much I didn't know and would have 
> to learn.  Slowly, but surely, I chipped away at it and the hard work 
> has paid off.
> 
> Quick tips for CCIE success:-
> Buy a big white board from IKEA!!  It cost me about #6 ($10) and was one 
> of the best assets in my home lab.
> 
> Material that I read:- (this is not the whole list by a long shot - but 
> the key ones)
> Bridger, Routers and Switches by Caslow
> Cisco Cookbook from O'Reilly
> The bible that is the InternetworkExpert Work Book.
> 
> And now some heartfelt thank you's
> 
> Brian and Brian - without the effort and passion that you put into what 
> you, I'm sure that I would not be here.  I remember watching a few of 
> the online classrooms of yours and marveling at the sheer love for the 
> subject that you fellas have - Inspiring.
> 
> Lee Donald - Yes, you were an inspiration.  When we were sat in the bar 
> after my first attempt, I remember thinking, with a bit more effort - I 
> could be that happy!!
> 
> Scott Morris - I know that most everyone thanks you, but you deserve all 
> the thanks you get.  Your posts on Group Study always seem to have an 
> elegant clarity to them, which makes it all seem, well, easy !
> 
> All of Group Study - Without the questions that are asked and the 
> support that is given on this board, I know that it would have taken me 
> a long, long time to get my ccie, and would probably have given up.  It 
> is a very demanding mistress, but reading all of the stories from the 
> board encouraged me to push on.
> 
> Once again - thank you one and all, I could not have done it without you.
