640-553 Passed!

Hey Guys,

Passed the 640-553 today after a two year hiatus from the certifications world.
Wasn't impressed with my score (833) but a pass is a pass. I wish I had prepped more for Zone Based Firewalls and VPN Cryptography. Also some of the graphics weren't the greatest.

Any advice on what to do next, should I go for voice or pursue CCSP?

Chris Bryant Complete CCNA Security Study Guide
CBT Nuggets CCNA Security
GNS3 (Dynamips + 3725 IOS)

I've never had a product I didn't like of his I'd have to say...did he add IPS to his rack rental yet? He was supposed to do that around the new year and I was waiting for that.
