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! >:-]
