Well,
All I can say:
INPUT:-
- About 15years industry experience across the group
- About 11 CCIE attempts across the group
- 2 Assessor Lab Experiences across the group
- About 3 IE MockLabs across the group
- Over 25 Conference Call sessions across the group
- 25 times reading IE Tech Labs, in-&-out
- HardCore CCO/DocDVD "swimming" across the group
- 1 Life CCIE Rack, 2 Dynamips' Powered CCIE Racks
- 3 of us hooked up in March, I must admit, I was still a networking
baby then ...
OUTPUT:-
- 2 CCIE out of 3 so far, and guess what, these guys scare me, because
if they continue this way, only God knows how many CCIE will span across
the 3 of us.
- 1 Married, 2 still Single. (I personally one should be single before
getting 5 CCIEs, cause men, I don't want to stress my partner at all!)
Many Thanks
Yemi Salau
