Re: OT -- FREE MPLS-TE Session

Yuri,

Thank you for your rant. I realize that you have issues with rack rentals,
but I think it will be very soon that we will see Cisco themselves getting
into the game and providing affordable AND AVAILABLE options for the more
expensive equipment tracks.

What we have been working hard on at Micronics Training is the SPv3
workbook. We have spent a tremendous amount of time on our book, believe it
or not, we had to re-write the entire book because once it was all done, I
did not care for it. Workbooks of this nature are not something that you
slap together in 30 days. I know that some of you guys are anxious about
this book and I keep getting e-mails and they all start with "WHEN IS THIS
BOOK GOING TO BE DONE", but we have to release a quality workbook that is
accurate! This book and other products will start hitting our website in
literally days. Quality is what we are after.
