Re: One Misconception about lab

Agreed....

I've had all kinds of disruptions in the lab so far. So believe me when I
say I know what you mean.

I even had my whole Pagent Virtual Lab crash on my at Cisco Live after the
first 4 hours in configurations. Lost everything - even while saving the
whole time. Ouch!!!

It hurts when the unexpected happens in a lab-like/graded-lab/real-lab
scenario.

:(

I feel ya.
