Re: CCIE lab fee raised!

The proctor at RTP did say that they were in the process of upgrading all of
the IOU hardware after my last attempt in June. She said the grading would
be done quickly so they could upgrade the hardware. I had a score 12 minutes
after the test was done.

I have to wonder if they will start using it for other tracks.

I missed the TS section by a hair, which I was aware of. I was 95% sure I
had the config part, but failed it too. I got screwed on the grading,
because I had one section with two 3 point questions and got a score of 33%
on that section. Had I passed the TS, I would have done a re-grade. It's
impossible to get 33% on that section. A few other items didn't add up
either. I think they scored me with the wrong script.
