One thing is for sure with Narbik - his students are probably the most
well-entertained out of any class I've seen or heard of and the class is
extremely jam packed with knoweldge that makes things seem easy. I said
seem.

Let's see... Dave Hucaby is another of the great instructors. Anyone seen
his Cisco Press ASA Firewalls. WoW! All that and in 5.5 hours. Whew! He
doesn't waste a word.

Chris Bryant is another guy who tears things down. I've heard of him as
coming off as a little on the boring side, but I'm thinking that comes from
those who don't know what to expect and what he's delivering. I've not seen
everything he offers but if you look at his demos on his site, he does a
good job of making a CCNA a CCNP in progress and a CCNP a CCIE in the
rough. He deserves an applause somewhere.
