SIMPLEST THEORY
If you focus on the configuration/trobuleshooting, environmental parameters (
including global warming) will not affect to you.
If environment affects you during real lab that means you do not have 100 %
focus.

Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Questions about the real lab
In my preparation phase I sometimes tried to make „my“ environment as
unfamiliar as possible, because after a while I really got used to my home
topology of my rack and all the environment.
So it was also a good lesson to do the ASET Labs, to get a complete other
environment…that’s a good training because, as others said before, the real lab
will be different than your own lab environment so try to not get used to it
and be very flexible…

I agree, some people tend to spend waaay to much time to get comfortable with
the environment.
Just like you said, it doesn't matter which terminal emulator you get, you'll
get one that will do the job, without fancy features.
You have to be stupid to miss those shortcuts on your desktop, so router access
is another thing where you don't have to worry about.
I agree, be comfortable with the blueprint and just take it as it comes :-)

Something else I'll say which I said before...
Don't spend too much time worrying about which version of SecureCRT
you can use or if you can use your own pencils. You don't get marked
on that. You get marked on spanning-tree, OSPF, MPLS, BGP, IP
Services and whatever else is in the blueprint. Worry about that.
My (personal) opinion is spending too much time trying to be
comfortable with what they lab environment might be can lead to some
complacency and then shock when it is discovered on exam day what they
tried to set up does not resemble the lab at all.
FWIW - the first time I used SevureCRT was in my lab exam. Prior to
that I was using Mac OSX terminal and Ubuntu terminal. Made no
difference to me whatsoever what terminal emulator you use. Work on
the Blueprint, focus on its contents and thats where you gain points.
