Bill Walsh was a great coach, any NFL fan knows that, as well as some non-nfl fans. Bill Walsh died from leukemia, The same that took his son from the Walsh family just a few years ago.

Unfortunately for me it is only a two day web cast class, other were able to attend the full week class and has reported back that it was great but too short to cover all it needed to. I would have been in the full week class had I not gotten selected for the CCIE bootcamp (written only). Lightlearn put on the class and it was well done, our instructor was Noel, and he really seems to know his stuff, and he knows the test. There was more than one time that he stressed a point in class and the concept was covered in the test. Know your OSPF, BGP, QOS, routing decisions. The test was widely varied in topic and switched quickly from one to another. When I arrived in Tempe for the class, I wa...
