It would be much less fun otherwise ;-). It's like gambling... if
you're into it, it's much less fun if you don't stand to lose anything

There is no configuration or product specific design involved. It's
strictly "birds-eye" view of networking. I'm not worried about bugs
:-).
As for the study, it's not that we don't have to study. It's the lack
of clear idea on what to focus. I have the feeling this is how it was
in the early CCIE days. Today is "easy"... You choose one of X
vendors, buy the workbook, study or a while and pass. Almost no real
challenge. CCDE on the other hand... no workbooks, no training, just
Evil Men from Cisco and me. Bring it on! >:-]
