I didn't just "pop into the group". I have been a member of this group for quite a while. I don't post very often because I find it nearly impossible to go over every message that comes into the group and try to offer a solution because of my job (Network Engineer at EDS) and all my other activities. I don't know how some of you guys and gals do it, but appreciate all the time you put into this and the answers you provide. I have learned more from this group than you can imagine.
I usually post answers to certification questions because I have written many practice tests for CCxx Productions, did some work with Boson/Quizware, and am currently working on stuff for Network Learning (NLI). I have done a lot of research on this kind of stuff and you wouldn't believe the rip-offs out there. I believe that Boson has good quality products, but I'm just trying to let people know that there are other alternatives besides Boson, Boson, Boson. It's like a cult with this group. Even though I have a financial interest in most of these companies, I want to help people out by letting them know that there are other quality options that can save people a lot of money. I mean, would you rather spend $119.85 for all the Boson CCIE Written materials or spend $29.95 with CCxx and get it all in one package? Shawn K. > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael L.
