Chuck, Hi! Sorry to hear that your disappointed so far. NLI does not own the study guide, we are simply reselling it for Rob Webber (CCIE#6922). These are the notes that he used to study for his CCIE Lab exam. They must have done something for him considering he passed on his first attempt. I'm sure his notes are not the only thing he used to pass the exam, but from my understanding, they played a major role.
We are always looking for people to help add/improve our current offerings. If you would like to work with us (with Rob's permission), we'd love to incorporate your recommendations and additions. You want to do some writing for us? Please let us know what you think of the rest of the study guide. If you are completely disappointed, please let me know (you can send the book back and we will provide a refund). thanks, -Brad Ellis CCIE#5796 Network Learning Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] used Cisco: www.optsys.net ""Chuck Larrieu"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > not the labs themselves, but the study prep booklet for which NLI charges > 150 bucks. > > these are preliminary impressions, based upon referring to the guide while > working on various study scenarios of my own. > > so far, the guide strikes me as somewhat shallow. very little detail. a > couple of superficial tips.
