Yeah but sometimes you have to pick your battles...

If its something thats easily looked up on the DOC cd I'll spend a few
minutes on it.
But if its something complex or requires a deep understanding of DVMRP
I rather skip it.

IMHO I rather spend my time getting a deeper understanding of token
ring which still exists in many production networks rather than DVMRP
which I have never seen in a production network anywhere...
