I'm very glad to hear this! Ahhhh... The good old days you mention there.

your next CCIE! :)

Subject: FINALLY GOT IT.....
FINALLY..I have been wanting to write this email for a LONG time. Got my
number at 4:30am this morning (passed Yesterday).
I started in this field 10 years ago after getting out of the military. The
civilian NOC I worked in was doing X.25 on Nortel, but was switching to IP
and sent me to a Cisco course with Chesapeake..BCRC/ACRC and I was HOOKED.
Got my CCNA, then changed jobs, got my CCNP and had a long lull before
finally getting my CCIE. I want to thank everyone in GroupStudy for their
help and keeping my spirits up after bombing on the 3rd try. This GROUP is
paramount in passing the CCIE. The sharing of knowledge and technique is
crucial to persons who don't have access to a large group of coworkers
studying for this exam.
Two people I have had the pleasure of working with and I need to really
thank is Dennis Lauer and Jeff Bazar. Both have showed me that hard work
and perseverance pays off. Also that SPIN is a cool thing.
As for my CCIE training, I PERSONALLY recommend Netmasters and IPEXPERT (the
two tools I used). This is NOT a slam on any other training groups that are
out there, these just worked for me and were close since I am in DC. Nor is
this in any order of preference, just the order of materials I used (this
sounds like some kind of disclaimer, heh.) I want to thank Bruce, Val, Bob,
India (for handling short notice class sign-up) and Scott for their time and
assistance in breaking it down and explaining it.
What a year, Detroit Redwings win the Cup (11th) and I get my CCIE. So far
so good. Next up, SERVICE PROVIDER CCIE.
