RE: Cisco Announced change to R&S

Darby,

Calm down. There is no reason for that here. We understand you are all
about vendors, exam info, etc. However, honestly everyone here is
working on lab prep. It will be what it ends up being as far as how the
exam changes. In the end, there is enough for a candidate to worry about
just getting prepared vs. wasting time on fear, etc.

Just my $.02

Paul (#16842 RS/Sec)
