Thanks for the kind words. I have sat the lab three times now with the
last one being about two months ago just to get a feel for the new
format.
I feel my depth of knowledge is fairly good but need refreshing and
like you said I need to get on fire.

I remember speaking with you when I worked at a bank here in AL. We
ended up purchasing a training program for the entire network team.

So, I just looked at the online bootcamp and think that it may be the
way to go. I would definitely like to talk more about this. Not that
money is no object but passing this darn test
is more important :)
