Right, I think I mentioned that in my earlier post (that ultimately it doesn't matter what caused the cycle, just that the net result is an easier exam). Of course how to make it difficult, in a fair fashion is yet another animal. > Personally I think the best way to solve this problem is to force people to > recertify by taking the current lab exam again.

Cisco does want more CCIEs to some degree, yet it can hurt them if there is no longer a true "upper echelon" of certification anymore. Ironically if they make a new tree, such as the "REAL CCIE", it only turns the current CCIES into a pile of ugly ducklings and validates all the nay-sayers of the CCIEs. :) > Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it is a total negative.

I think it is very difficult to adjust any complex system to get a total 'positive' when they are "upgraded". -Carroll Kong Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=71098&t=70151 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
