Jim,

I bought this product exactly because of the declaration that it was good
for practicing for the CCIE lab. I have sent it back for a refund!
I have already attempted the lab (& failed!) and I don't believe I am
breaking the NDA by stating that this product is NOT good practice for the
lab.
It is very good as far as it goes. It appears to be a stable product that
would be good as an introduction to the concepts needed for the CCIE but it
does not go far enough. It is a very good product for the CCNP candidate but
not a CCIE candidate. F.Y.I., I have the same opinion of the "All-in-one
CCIE Study Guide" published by McGraw Hill.

To put this in context : It took me 45 minutes to complete ALL of the labs
on this CD. This is a lot of practice.

Regards,

Fenris
