Re: Best way to study without labbing?

Thanks everybody, I currently have the wrist straightening brace, the tendon
arm band and a multitude of ice packs. I visited the doc, but the only real
cure is to rest, something that I don't get much of these days.

I had tried voice recognition, but "do sh ip bgp vpnv4 vrf OSPF1 neighbors
10.1.12.1" doesn't seem to work very well :) I also use a program called
"Workrave" that reminds me to rest for 30 seconds every few minutes which is
good since otherwise you get sucked into the lab and don't want to stop
"Just one more peering and I'll rest....."

I also have a Wacom tablet I use in place of a mouse that has been very
helpful, although the handwriting recognition like voice recognition still
leaves a bit to be desired when working the CLI (slashes look just like ones
and there isn't any real context for it to cue in on).

I have a ticket with Cisco open for my lab and am going to be able to bring
the tablet and split keyboard with me to the lab.

Thanks for the pointers, back to the books for me!
