Re: Anyone Going for v4 lab in october?

As always, that's a personal thing to answer, and you'll likely see all

Keep in mind that no matter what things are perceived to boil down to,

influence, drive and otherwise make things happen.

Did security jobs evaporate because checkpoint had a great GUI and
people loved it? Did it get worse when Cisco followed suit and gave
pretty pictures and nice colors with power to people who don't deserve
it? Nope. made for great consulting dollars to fix things. :)

The sky's not falling.
