Nice work Mark... congrats on being a dad soon too.
Now get out of that "bodyshop". Any bank that charges us New Yawkers $3 to
access an ATM must treat their employees like grease.

Thank You! It even took me three tries to verify myself online since I
have an initial in my official cisco cert name! Also thanks to everyone
in this group, I always got great answers to the questions I posted and
was able to calm my curiousities by reading through some posts.
Wednesday was my LAB 5th attempt. My girlfriend is pregnant and our son
is due in less than 8 weeks, so this attempt was vital. I took a 4-5
month break after my second attempt due to changing jobs. Not making any
excuses, but that can kill you, I do not recommend it. I finished the
4th attempt with 2+ hours left and reviewed. Was shocked when I failed,
but later sifted through some careless mistakes. This time I took my
time and was more carefull, finishing with an hour left to review.
As for stuyding, I started with a base of 4 years of network design,
implementaion and support. I used Internetwork Expert's II and III lab
workbooks. III was very awesome in helping me nail speed and accuracy on
those first 60 point dependent points. I attended a bootcamp by Narbik
through ccbootcamp early on. Narbik was great and I left the bootcamp
realizing I had some weak areas, which you can not have. You need to know
EVERYTHING, then you have to deal with all the other factors of the Lab.
I also did a few mock labs through netmastersclass, those were very
premium and dug deep into all possible scenarios. I took both CCIE
accessor versions and those were awesome and very realistic to the real
thing IMO. I took several of the graded mock labs through Internetwork
Expert too. The members discounts on those labs were nice. Lastly, I
used my own equipment, that I will be listing on ebay soon :)
Cheers,

Mark,
This system generated email of Cisco almost gave me a heart attack
when it says 'Check your score report', the most common thing that
comes to our mind is ... SCORE REPORT means FAILED ATTEMPT. They
should change it to somewhat polite one like 'Congratulations you are
a CCIE now'. I got this Congratulations email 2 days after the result
;)
Anyways, remove the ? from the number. Congratulations on being a CCIE.
Regards,
