Re: OT -- FREE MPLS-TE Session

It is so great to see vendors focusing on outstanding training products
and not just good. Products that are just good tend to give students poor
results.

My Copy Editor, Tiffany Pagan and I, had the privilege of Copy/Tech
editing the R&S workbook of Micronics and now we are moving on to
security. I was so thrilled for the work, but more importantly, seeing
that these products are being taken to the next level of quality.

I made the "mistake" of doing some VoDs for Narbik. Re-take, after
re-rate, after re-take. But let's face it, this is how it should be.

I say demand outstanding products, not just good ones - and stay thirsty
my friends!
