    Its a bit outdated, but its has some good stuff in there. I wouldnt have paid for it, but anything the compnay gives me free is bound to be good icon_lol.gif

    Forgot to add the brynat advantage, the Binary Mastery is an absloute "must have" for anyone struggling with VLSM. The other PDF's are ok, but dont elaborate enough like Cisco Press (especially Mr. Odom) does.

    But the questin is what beer did you get? You americans love that MGD or Coors Light stuff... Hhhhahahah. Gotta drink something like Sapporo or something high class! Its worth it for all that time that you put into one test!

    Yea for you!

    Let me re-cert by one month and I will see you on the boards for NP studies. Maybe we can compare notes!

    Coors light is what I drink when I fail tests icon_lol.gif

    I went over to the the Pyramid Brewery and got some nice blonde ale, you cant beat that right off the production line taste, any macro beer is gonna be a "failed test beer" , micro brew is much better, but much more expensive icon_eek.gif

    I guess Im not that refined of a beer drinker. I know when I had an achievement... I bought myself a 200 dollar bottle of vodka.

    So with that said... what type is blonde ale? Is it thick or thin like regular beer?

    I see we are going off-topic here, but then again it's about beer ;)

    I guess this is a good time to point out Jason's (from mcmcse.com) beer website www.beertutor.com icon_cool.gif

    Any topic that I am involved can be about beer and still be perfectly on topic icon_lol.gif

    I dont drink beer to get drunk ( I honestly cant recall the last time I got hammered), I drink cause I like beer, dont like liquor, just beer. Kinda like people who drink decaf coffee, its all about the taste icon_cool.gif


    And blonde Ale is an ale with a very light tint, almost all ale is thin. Dark brews tend to be on the thick side.
