Hi Zouta!

Thanks so much for your input - yeah this is a real dilemma. I have yet to
figure out a solution.....

Regarding your comment on the Workbook Vendors - if I were a Proctor - I
would be a consistent reader of vendor workbooks - why? Well - to make sure
I create Lab Tasks that transcend the configurations consistently shown in
those workbooks. In doing so - I make sure the candidate really understands
the underlying technologies.
