Re: OT----OT----SPv3 - DRM

Thanks for the support. We're also working hard to keep training
affordable by offering the vast majority of our video courses at around
$299 each or lower. Even the 80+ hour R&S ATC download version is only
$299. The monthly subscription streaming video option we offer for all
of our videos has been very successful and we're going to lower the
monthly price soon so that it's more attractive to keep your
subscription long term.

For our next update of the R&S workbooks you will see them combined into
a single workbook product and priced around the same $299 price range.
You will also see a lot of additional content added. I'm combining them
because I want to ensure you have a complete all-in-one solution to
learning what you need to become a CCIE without being confused as to
what workbook to buy. The printed version of our R&S workbooks is
currently about $300 more and will remain the same with the update as
it's literally 2 boxes of books.

We're beta testing a new Troubleshooting Workbook and updates to
existing workbooks (Vol 2 and Vol 3). The new Troubleshooting Workbook
uses 4 x 3550's and 28 x ISR's (1 x 2811 and 27 x 1841s). This is the
same rack we use for the new Troubleshooting Bootcamp that I teach and
will be available for rental with the labs in the very near feature.

Lastly I have to agree that although these emails may seem off topic
they do drive competition which is where you as the customer wins For
example you should see how hard Brian McGahan is working to get the SPv3
workbooks out now. On that note we have the SPv3 racks available to
rent starting the first week of April and they will appear in your
members site account to schedule starting next week.
