I had the experience with alt tabbing between term emu sessions so I know
what you are talking about...not only during my fail but on my pass too.
The point is that things like that can start to eat up a lot of time and the
candidate should not be responsible for them.

My experience was when I clicked on the documentation link, it would "grind"
the hard drive for 10-15 seconds at each page. It was almost impossible to
lookup anything. (Maybe that was the intent?) In addition to that the PC
would be sluggish when switching between different telnet sessions. There
was something wrong with the PC.
Yes, I do see your point. I should know everything in the DOC cd and not
need to look anything up. I should have rebooted. Yes, I was able to use
telnet and do the lab.
I take most of the blame for failure on my first attempt. Maybe I am too
used to surfing the doc cd at fast speeds.
I guess my point is if you are paying to be tortured during the test, at
least they could do is having a PC and network access that performs
adequate.
Maybe they should have an open Bar and provide a massage during the exam
too...

Are you telling me that currently you type/perform faster than a Pentium-II?
:)
While the computers may be big and ugly, once you open up your telnet window
and Acrobat/IE, you shouldn't be doing any heavy processing.
Whenever you look at any documentation, make sure to just close the document
if you want and not the entire program. That will make your day more
efficient.

I'll have to ask the proctor if I can reboot it at the start of the lab. I
should have done that the first attempt, not that it would have helped much.
I'll have to dust off my old Pentium II and practice.
Thanks.

Hi CCIESTUDY:
I used to work in building 3 - where they offer the lab in RTP. I am afraid
you're stuck with the old stuff unless something's happened since they moved
me to a new building. Those boat anchors aren't going to get updated to
paperweights in the near future either. Sorry this did not help.

Anyone taken the lab at RTP recently? Did they replace the PC's? The one I
had back in December was a real "boat anchor" and appeared to not have been
rebooted in months. It was difficult to browse anything. (maybe this was
by design?)
Yes, I know quit my complaining, real CCIE's can do the lab with an Apple
IIc and a 1200 buad modem...
