For anyone studying for their Routing and Switching CCIE, Narbik has his bootcamp scheduled for January 18-22 in Austin. This is his first time coming here, and he needs 6 students to run the class. Right now he has 4. This will be his first class in Austin, and we really want to take it here. Would anyone else be interesting in attending? Narbik is the author of the v5 Official Cert Guide, and is well-known as the best IE instructor on the market. In addition, his policy allows you lifetime free retakes of the bootcamp, so you can always retake it again if you don't pass your first lab attempt.

Also, my former co-worker and I are studying hard, and plan on taking our labs in April or so. This will be his second attempt and my first. We have our own VIRL lab built out, and would be happy to share it and help anyone else build their own. These sorts of endeavors are always easier in a group to help motivate each other. We have a ton of books as well that we are more than happy to share.
