I'm sitting at my PC smiling away because I can't believe I'm actually going
to join in this "off-topic" but I can't resist :-)
Here's my logic and believe me "you can't argue with me on this" because
this is what I believe ;-). I'll admit it's simplistic but here goes
anyway...
1. The more CCIEs the more Gold Partners the more Cisco will sell their
products.
2. The more CCIEs the better the quality of designed customer networks.
3. The more CCIEs the more expertise in the market place.
Result statisfied customers and satified shareholders of Cisco - Bottom
line.
Yea make the test harder but that will not stop the numbers increasing at
the rate it is. There are so many untapped human resources around the world
(India springs to mind and look out there are a billion people there, soon
the CCIE number will be in HEX!!!!!)
Just get on with it.
Sorry for adding to this nonsense and "don't argue with me on this"
.......oh alright then gon then it's a free world.......
Now where is that OSPF RFC I was reading........
