yeah i've been using IPExperts materials which is great. Its really whats
gotten me this far, that and a lot of time. I guess its just a matter of
getting back in there and doing it. i haven't studied a bit since my last
lab, even unsubscribed from the list for a while. not that i was ever going
to stop trying, just needed some time... holidays and what not. I'm
thinking about waiting until after the 1st of the year to really get back
into it, just do some light reading and some simple dynamips stuff until
then
