Re: OEQ Waiver program! No MORE OEQ for Cisco 360 students.

Personally I would just ignore the OEQ nonsense and instead concentrate on
the blueprint. If we are to master the blueprint itself, there's no reason
why we shouldn't pass the lab. So it doesn't matter whether it's 360 or not.
What matters is the damn quality and I believe the majority of the vendors
here are top notch!

If it's because we don't own a lab hence the fear of OEQs, well there's
Dynamips/Dynagen/GNS3. There's also a bunch of vendors out there giving
excellent lab sessions like Narbik who has good cheap lab rental rates,
InternetworkExpert who has lots of rack sessions that matches the v4
blueprint very well and IPexpert who I gotten to know that their BLS
solution now includes 400 hours of rack time so if you buy their BLS, you
get free rack time of 400 hours to practice! I am sure NMC and the other
guys have great offerings as well.

So with all the good help vendors are giving to us, don't tell me that just
because the vendors who are not 360s stand to lose to the 360s vendors? I so
doubt it unless John Chambers come and shut my big mouth with a Cisco lab
voucher for 300 attempts.

You know come to think of it I would love that 300 attempt lab voucher :-).
John? John?
