Bummer about the cheapie plaque, though. I was totally looking forward to that medallion (and I'm a long way off). Bowling leagues give away nicer plaques than that. I was dissapointed when I got my CCNA too. I've seen nicer work in MS Paint. The newer MS certs aren't as nice as the old ones, either. For the amount of time we put into these things, we should at least get a warm and fuzzy feeling when we open the box. ATTN CISCO: Plastic plaques are for kids who are the "most improved" on their tee-ball team. Medallions are for heroes and winners. Take the hint. Congratulations on your CCIE.

Most CCIE these days don't worth the numbers and they cannot even defend their numbers. I think it is OK to separate the boys from the men with what you got. Because this is the days of Dumps.

So i sent an email to the Certification Program Manager describing my disappointment. http://ccie-in-3-months.blogspot.com/2008/07/inform-cisco-of-your-disappointment.html Maybe all new CCIEs should do the same.

But I think it sucks that they are trying to save money by replacing the old medallion with this plaque. I want something that makes me feel like I have earned it. @navfett Don’t get me wrong, I still think its the digits that matter way more than the plaque.
