Re: ASET labs

Luan - FYI - "Scottie" had nothing to do with our security products.
He was primarily focused on R&S ILT - most of the dev had to be
outsourced. That's one of the main differences now - our QA is MUCH,
MUCH higher - our instructors actually also develop, update and
support our self-study products....they also blog too! ;-)

Regarding the lab grading - you're dead-on. Kennedy has done an
amazing job with the scripting!
