Re: Just taken the lab

Bradley,

I hope that the results come with a 5 digit number next to your name.

If you guys are that excited/worried about Putty versus Secure CRT, i hate
to see you guys in the test with a slightly tough or tricky question. You
guys should be worried about the topics in the blueprint and NOT
putty/SecureCRT or even Hyper terminal. Please correct me if i am wrong.
