Re: CCIE #27040

Justin,

WOWOWOWOWOWOW

Congratulation my friend, i knew hard work and determination will
payofffffff. Thanks for the kind words, but i don't think i can take credit
for any of my students achievements, you guys did the labs day and night,
you guys had to deal with some of the disappointments, and it was you guys
that had to dig deep and get motivated again, so it's NOT fair for me to
take any credit for your achievements.

Good job my friend, next time i am in dallas, let hook up and have a beer or
two.

With this out of the way, you must have plenty of time, take a break and
maybe think of the second one. Trust me the second ones are much easier,
because you know what to expect.

Once again good job m8. Proud of you.

We both know that RTP does not have port numbers..........
hahahahahahahahaha
