This and crappy proctors have been a huge pet peeve of mine.
1) There has to be a base level of professionalism to ensure that most
candidates get a fair shot and are not bothered with external nuisances.
(there will always be very rare goofy stuff).
2) If candidates for the most respected vendor cert have to sit fight with
equipment because the CCIE group can't come up with a PC procedure, what
should the outside people think? Should they take this cert and vendor
seriously?

I wonder why they have such crappy equipment to work with. There are only
two testing sites in the U.S. One would think that a place that charges
$1,400 per person every day could afford some better quality equipment. As
for me, I'll be bringing a bottle of tylenol because if the monitors are as
crappy as they sound, I will get a headache or even migraine within the
first hour.
