Any CCIEs out there?

[Ten9T6]

Well, I just returned from my first trip to San Jose for my lab. I ended up being in the 90% or so that fail the exam on the first shot. But, I have this thing beat on the next round. :05:

With all the computer geeks on this forum, I was just wondering if / how many CCIEs we have out there? And did you pass it on the first try? Well....back to the studying... haha..

How about defining "CCIE" for the rest of us?

Is that test still $2500? I never could motivate myself to spend that one a cert.

1250.00 plus the flight, hotel, and rental car...if you don't live in the area....and much more money and time preparing for it. It costs you in more ways than one.

I tried that thing three times, BGP was my nemesis with that darn Token Ring switch not helping the last time either. This was when the test was two-days, I understand it's one day now? I did get complimented by the proctor once, saying that I had the highest OSPF score he had ever seen on that version of the exam.

Every so often I think about trying it again but remind myself it would take time away from my family and diving and that I don't use the knowledge right now anyway.
