Re: OT: is this true? I am worried about studying for CCIE R&S

Just for the record- I said that because I have a Security background, but wanted R&S. So, I did the more difficult one (R&S) first, to do the easier (Security, in my opinion) second (dessert).

I hope to make my first SEC lab before summer is over.

Back to labbing.

Jay McMickle- CCIE #35355 (R&S)
