As I've said before, there ONLY real solution is to change the lab more
frequently than they do now, but it seems they don't want to invest more
resources to 'save' the program from loosing its reputation. It was
surprising to me when a 'double CCIE' came to my house and laughed at the
Hucaby/Frahim ASA Books saying 'you study one whole book for a firewall? I
read none!'. He finished RnS in 3 months on the first attempt!
