Gday Greg,
You know I was searching through the list last night looking for your
victory dance - to no avail. However I hadn't (still waiting) received the
original message you posted below. I was tempted to unicast you and see how
you went but I figured you'd let people know in your own good time.
All I can say mate is congratulations and well done. Given the next big
thing that's on your radar is only just around the corner - I'm sure you're
elated to have put this one to bed. I'm really happy for you mate...
Good on ya and all the best!
Cheers,
Con.

Hey Greg,
Back in Nov/Dec, you told me flat out that your fourth trip to RTP was going
to be your final one for R&S. You left no room for doubt on that topic, and
so I had none. None at all. I am 100% thrilled for you, even if not
surprised the least bit. Like I said earlier, I'll pass on the race bit,
but the SP track had better start opening some seats!
Again Greg, the hearties congratulations for a victory well earned. Enjoy
my friend...
Regards,
Scott

Too many people to thank so forgive me if I forget anyone. CCIE #20179.
My wife and daughter for putting up with me when I was half awake and labbed
out.
Naren and Bahram at CyscoExpert in Chicago.
Brian M and Brian D from InternetworkExpert for their excellent labs and
resources.
Scott Morris from IPExpert - for all of the great information and support he
provides all of us.
Paul Borghese for providing groupstudy.
Scott Vermillion and Joseph Brunner for keeping me motivated to follow their
examples. I'll race you to SP. Get some sleep.
Greg and Paul for Dynamips and Dynagen
The proctors at RTP for putting up with my CCNA level questions during the
labs. I admit I was nervous..
All of my bosses and customers at work for putting up with an employee who
wasn't getting much sleep.
My history
Passed the written in 11/06. Failed the lab 3 times - March, August and
September of 2007.
Working with Cisco and IT since 1997 in various roles and responsibilities.
I primarily used the IE Vol 4 labs 1 - 20.
Best advice I can give to candidates.
Don't rush scheduling the test. I won't even consider scheduling my SP lab
until I can ace the difficultly level 10 labs in under 6 or 7 hours.
