Re: cisco labs !!!!!!!!!!

Heard talk of this last year and was wondering when it was to be released.
Think it is a great move.

The difference may be that, with a virtual lab, you might be able to pause
and restart at will, only paying for the time you use it and not just for a
regular scheduled timeslot (whether you can make it that day or not).

I say 'might be able' not because it is an available option, but because
I've found the main store site too slow to browse today, so I dont know yet.
:) Haven't ventured further than the main page and the feedback section.
Hopefully that is just a few teething problems.

Paul.
