I'm with you 100% on this. I said that bit swapping is as easy as writing your name backwards. Maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, so to speak, because you do have to do hex to binary and back, but only for a four-digit binary number. So it's as easy as writing your name backwards in Pig Latin.
If people don't find it that easy, they should start with CCNA (or a basic math class or a "how do computers work" class). There's nothing wrong with that. If people can really get CCIE despite finding this difficult, or only because they memorized some charts, I'd be surprised. Don't waste time trying for CCIE. Start with the basics. That would be my advice anyway. Priscilla At 05:19 PM 5/23/02, Michael L.
