All,

We cannot call NMC's workbook a "VICTIM" of the Cisco 360 Program when it is
the "BASIS" of the Cisco 360 Program.

The NMC Program is the the Cisco 360 Program rebranded by Cisco.

Simple as that. Take a look at the netmasterclass.net store and see for
yourself.

Also note the VODs from NMC that mention the new name in them that was a
"HINT of THINGS to COME" and now are happening.

One Workbook to bind them all....

Kinda funny if anyone thinks it is anything else. Make no mistake. Cisco
bought into NMC's product.

So no matter how you may feel about InternetworkExpert, IPExpert, Micronics
or others... they are now the rebels and the make no mistake which vendor
won the in the "War of the Ring".

Kinda funny since NMC did not yet offer a 100% solution yet. Their VOD
Solutions were as of yet incomplete in terms of how their products compared
to others and the CCIE Blueprint.

I guess it's not what you sell... but who you sell to... that matters
sometime.
