Eric,

No idea as Im still preparing for lab attempt no 1 after an enforced absence
concentrating on my work the last few years.

I would be interested to hear if there is any truth in it, or if it is one
of those CCIE myths like 'The lab is easier now than the old days' or 'The
lab is harder now than the old days'

Or my all time favorite one which is 'CCIE numbers are going out of control
and the demand and dough for an IE will fall..or 'the fear' as I like to
call it :)

'The fear' has has done the rounds on groupstudy for at least 6 years. It
makes cyclical visits on the mailing list depending how scared people feel
at the time.

Regards
Gary
