Atlantaccie,
IMO, I believe people are free to express how they feel about this change,
so please stop telling them they are whining! If you don't like the way the
sound, keep it to yourself.
Cheers,
Valentine

Why is everyone making a BIG deal out of this? Go study and learn the
technologies and pass! Who created the ORIGINAL CCIE EXAM? Cisco did? ok
good. They also decided that we get EIGHT hours and not 10 or 6 correct? Did
we complain then? NO.
Cisco KNOWS how long it takes to finish the exam so IF they are adding some
interview questions, I am SURE they will make sure that they are NOT wasting
our time.
Get back to your books folks. Don't be wasting time whining here because it
only makes you looik like one of those dump-using-CCIEs ;)
