Re: Rumor Control: Major CCIE RS Changes - Do or Do Not Book

The "grey market" vendors will never go away. Why? They are filled with real experts with valuable knowledge, experience, and a real passion for what they know and what they teach. That is easily seen if you just passively read this list, or have gotten to know any of the instructors from the various companies. Secondly, they have proven track records at actual reasonable prices. I can't imagine why anybody would take the Cisco 360 route unless:

1) It is paid for by your company who is used to or doesn't care about spending a shitton of money on overpriced stuff
2) You are rich and just don't care.

For the rest of us, it makes no sense. If you are an average Joe going to work everyday, making a living, and studying in whatever time you have left, to me it makes no sense to go with the 360. Just my 2 cents.

I like that one.
Maybe the program will be expanded to a new dimension - the Cisco 420
program:-)
