Re: OT: Multiple CCIE's

By the time this kid is eligible to take tests, he has to make sure
there are at least 7 ongoing CCIE tracks to be able to fulfill his
dream. :-)

When I was a little boy, I considered myself extremely unlucky because
of having to attend music (piano) classes for 7 years; 4 days a week 3
hours a day in addition to the secondary school (not to mention home
works for both). From that time I remember a lot, including:
Prima, Secunda, Tertia, Quarta, Quinta, Sexta, Septima, Octava - we
borrowed these and used in Russian without even changing a
prononciation. :-)

Though growing from the German language family, English has a huge
vocabulary luggage borrowed from immortal Greek and Latin. But this
would be a way off OT subject here: :-)

Cheers,
A.
