Hi List,
Its my turn to finally write this email. I passed my R&S CCIE on Monday 
6th October in Brussels at the first attempt. I had a good feeling when 
walking out of the exam, but wasnt 100% sure, as like a lot of things, 
it is sometimes about task interpretations - you just never know.
Thankfully I checked my email this morning and saw the magic number of 
#22262
I started my journey back in June 07 with the written test - then 
procrastinated for a while getting serious about lab prep. The materials 
I used were IE v4.1 workbooks (Volume I and II), IE CoD, 2x IE mock 
labs, Narbik's Soup to Nuts Workbook (unfortunately I was unable to make 
it to his class) and also the IP Expert BLS workbooks, VoD and graded 
labs. I mainly used Dynamips for my prep but also had some rack rentals 
from IPexpert to use with their workbooks. All of these vendors are 
equally awesome for us in the CCIE community.
So thanks go out to Tyson at IPexpert, the Brians' at IE, Narbik, and 
also Scott Morris (IE/IPexpert - he was on the VoD!) - Im glad your 
still here! Id also like to throw a thank you to Scott Vermillion, who 
helped me a little setting up Dynamips on my Mac way back when. The 
proctor in Brussels Bruno also deserves a mention as I bugged him on 
numerous occasions.
Now I can go back to some kind of normality and I know that my wife will 
be happy as she can have the dinner table back, after I move my computer 
and study notes off of it.
Cheers,
Jo
