Ming,
my heartiest congratulations to you man!
hats off to all the people who are married and pass.
Becoming a CCIE is no small deed, but it is much harder
when you have a family at home also.
I can only imagine not being married myself, about how
much personal sacrifice one would have to make.
Once again Ming Congrats, and enjoy your success!
Omer
