Well, as far as it saving you money, the answer is (as always in the Cisco world)...it depends. In particular, it depends on what exactly they are going to replace all those TR questions with, and we won't know until the first guinea-pigs try the new lab out in October. For example, what if the new lab is really really heavy into voice? Then everybody with a home-lab would have to buy voice stuff, which is a hell of a lot more expensive than TR gear. > > Mike Graham > CCNP, CCDP Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=46509&t=46497 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Besides, many us use our labs not just for testing but for mocking up customer solutions/problems/possible ideas. I still get jobs with Netware 3.12 involved and one hospital I was at had over 300 nodes of Token Ring for the forseeable future. I agree that Ebay pricing on some things will tank in the next month. But it doesn mean that it suddenly disappear from networks.

It's going to be replaced with more QoS and basic security stuff. No new topics, just an expansion of existing topics that aren't covered in as much detail.
