Get real, Marc's (ccbootcamp's) labs took a lot of time and effort on his part. For a mere $650.00 you not only get the labs, but if you have a technical question, you can get support from them. They were a valued asset while I was in the process of studying for the lab. They were also the biggest reason I succeeded. $650.00 is half the cost of the lab, and spending that $650 can save you several lab attempts (and therefore thousands of dollars) - provided your study habits are what they should be. I think $650.00 is a bargain price for what I got out of the labs. If you don't see the value, don't buy the labs. Either way don't try to steal the value of someone else's efforts. Marc put forth the effort, created a great product and deserves every penny he gets from that effort. It's called capitalism - and it works. I took the product that Marc built and used it to further my knowledge, passed my lab and am now reaping the benefits of my efforts. I didn't spend $650.00 to benefit Marc, I spent $650.00 to benefit me - and I got my money's worth and then some.

[7:29926] Marc, If you are updating all your labs you won't mind your old ones being posted free for all those people in the poorer countries, as you put it. In fact why don't you post the old ones and get some good publicity for your company. You could look at it as your Christmas present to the learning community after all they have given to you. A quick calculation for people to consider. BootCamp charge $600 a pop for the labs. There are say 1000 people that have bought these legitimatly. (This is possibly conservative) The lab scenarios themselves cost only time to develop. The kit to develope them had to be purchased anyway for CCIE studies. Yes you can expand this argument into lots of different areas to suit your purpose. As for legitimate updates Mark. I am sure you can come up with a cheap but secure method for providing updates to people via the web. While you are at it why don't you create a electronic method for purchasing the products in the first place. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
