There were some questions that just blew me out of the water that I wouldn't
expect any Cisco book to talk about:
example: How much meg space does X program take on a hard drive?
I can't blame Padjen (Sybex) or Birkner (CiscoPress) for the amount of
material they review, the test is so far encompassing that I can't see how
one book could cover the entire subject.
I have a totally different view than Gnome on the CID compared to the CCDA -
I thought the CCDA was a walk through the park after already having the CCNP
but the CID was just an ugly beast. Maybe I'm just bitter after having to
take the CID twice and only have a 4 question difference in score (the ONLY
IT cert I had to take twice)
