A friend forwarded the following note to me regarding the CCIE testing
environment.
My understanding is that CCIEs are the proctors. Wouldn't make much sense
to
have a CCNA/CCNP proctoring a CCIE.
The first CCIE, #1025, is/was Stewart Biggs. My understanding is that his
certification has lapsed and he's off doing something else. I took the test
from him in August, 1993 and became the second CCIE, #1026. The lab itself
had
a plaque outside the door labeling it as #1024 (a power of two - kind of an
inside joke for networking/compuer jocks).
And for those of you checking, my certification is suspended as of June,
2001.
I'm reading up on some topics to prepare for the recert test that I'll take
soon.
Good luck with your certifications!
