Thank you for proving my point that the use of the book is to make it easier
for the less-technical people to get the same certs as us more proficient
and experienced professionals. Because those of us who have experience CAN
understand the techinical writings Cisco publishes. You even stated you use
it in your school..for inexperienced people to be able to at least pass a
test. This accomplishes nothing more than degradation of the Cisco Titles.
Nice job!
