I don't know. Where I work, if you were to swan around wearing a CCIE bomber
jacket people would find it very amusing I'm sure. Sat opposite two grizzled
CCIEs for a year. No jackets, no plaques. All my certs and pins stay at
home where they belong.
CCIE number plate in hex might be fun though but that's just me. Im not sure
it will work now though as I think max digits in the UK is 7 on a plate?
Didn't you used to get a small medal or something for passing this thing?
The quality of certs etc are rubbish these days but then vendors do hate our
guts ;)
