Re: Chronicles of Narbik - Reloaded 2011

Thanks!

I think the program has come a long way and the Cisco 360 Team, the NMC
Team, and the instructors that are making the magic happen are quite the
magicians!

The labs have been changed! And they are as interesting as ever.

The graded labs are a testament to the program and are still the Gold
Standard!
