Thanks Scott! I am actually taking a short vacation and traveling down to
Brazil with my wife. I have lived down there before for many years and if
anyone is looking for something different or a place to relax, I can recommend
some locations down there.

When I come back, there are so many technologies at the company I work for
that I will be busy for sure. It goes from VPNs , FWs, WAN optimization, Load
Balancers, Net/Config mgmt products , Web Security Proxies, MPLS (coming
soon), Network/Datacenter design (Nexus 7000 coming soon) just to name a
few...so I want to take some time to become and EXPERT on all of them :-).

Cheers!
