Howdy to All [7:59521]
Just wanted to give a general shout out to all, I'm new here, figured I'd need some help with some study issues. been a CCNA for about 2 1/2 years, looking to pass CCNP exams by August 2003, been working on switching as my first exam. needed a place to vent, looking around here yesterday I cam across a (not known by me) exam 640-901, a little research found it a replacment routing exam, thats ok, oh crap, I'm still studying for the 640-50x exam series. I hate the new cisco site, can't find any good certification material, I actually had to search google and the first links were to cisco web sie exactly what I needed, ciriculum for the 640-60X exam series. looking at the curiculum for the 640-604 switching exam, there is nothing on HSRP or ATM Lane, could this be true ? they are quite complex concepts, the exam looks mich easier if these 2 subjects are left off, though multicast will still be a bear. anyway, just wanted to say hi to everyone, and I look forward to participating and helping out whenever I can. have a good day !!!

RE: Howdy to All [7:59521]
I have not met anyone who liked the new Cisco site. I have tons of errors and problems, I don't know what language the site is done in but it pretty bad. When you try to contact Cisco about it, and no one gets back to you. And when they do contact me back, they don't know why the error is occurring. I would rather have the site designed like a command prompt then to have the same thing 17 places on each page. Sometimes I am tempted to load the old site, but then I get old information. How many people have to complain before they change this? Try something else, whatever you are using is not working. I have seen teenagers make a better interface then this. On the first page, you have drop downs, which contain the same things as the links. And the +/- is annoying too. Cisco tends to try to use the "underdog" technologies when it doesn't have to do directly with network equipment. They need to stop getting cute with this stuff because it is very annoying. I also just got a new "Cisco document CD", like 5 out of 10 of the links do not work. It would be very easy to figure this out and correct the problem. And don't get excited if you find any links to PDF on the document CD, most of them are missing. Ever hear of a QA department? -Original Message- From: David Ristau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 8:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Howdy to All [7:59521] Just wanted to give a general shout out to all, I'm new here, figured I'd need some help with some study issues. been a CCNA for about 2 1/2 years, looking to pass CCNP exams by August 2003, been working on switching as my first exam. needed a place to vent, looking around here yesterday I cam across a (not known by me) exam 640-901, a little research found it a replacment routing exam, thats ok, oh crap, I'm still studying for the 640-50x exam series.

Ever hear of downsizing and not hiring to replace the people you let go? ;-) I think, just like other companies, Cisco employees are doing 2 or 3 people's jobs and stuff is falling through the cracks.
