Invaluable for some, and a pretty bookshelf decoration for others : )
Is there any need to review this? If you're on the CCIE Voice track you'll know how to plan and configure cisco voice. You'll be setting up and tearing down configs all day : )
But the vital other half of the equation is whether you can identify and correct problems in a variety of situations and topologies. After all, this is the hardest part of the practical. Blind troubleshooting is also the one area where students tend to struggle and often don't put in enough time.
If you're not on the CCIE track, but just want to set up or manage cisco voice for a single organisation then you can certainly get by without this book. Most of it will be entirely irrelevant to your situation : ) Sure, it looks good on the shelf but you'll barely ever need it.
This book is definitely geared to those on the formal CCIE track, for whom it is invaluable.

Skeptical at first... but it's been a game-changer : )
Okay, so over 200 miles later and I can safely say that these socks perfectly protect my feet from the heat, friction and sweat that lead to blisters between the toes. Which is amazing, because I'm particularly susceptible to toe-blisters and I haven't had a single one since the switch to Injinjis
The construction is completely seamless and has a good amount of stretch without any 'bagginess' at all. They hug the toes so smoothly and evenly that there's no bunching up of material that could cause hot-spots and rubs.
When you first get them you'll be surprised by how small they seem. They do take a bit of practice to put on ... or at least, they did for me because my smallest two toes always put up some resistance due to their curl. And, once on, they'll feel a little weird and take a day or so to get used to.
As regards putting them on I found that it's best to slide my first two fingers into the smallest two toes for a few seconds, thus slightly pre-stretching them before attempting to put the sock on. Then just work from big toe to small... a pinch and pull action either side of the small toe helps wiggle it down.
I then put a regular thick sock over the top which helps my padding and probably extends the life of the Injinji considerably.
My toes have never been happier and I'm managing between 12 and 17miles a day, four days a week with 1 hour jogs every morning. Previously 10 miles would usually be followed by a few days of nursing blisters and cracks.
Initially they REALLY don't appear very strong and I didn't expect them to last more than a couple of weeks, in fact I actually felt a little cheated. But I have been pleasantly surprised. My first pair of Injinji's are still going strong 200 miles later, and still perfectly fine despite being considerably 'fuzzier' than when new. You will need to keep your toenails under control though as I can imagine a long nail sawing through these quite quickly.
I've recently bought two more pairs because I now consider them my most important bit of kit. They've removed all the misery of being off my feet for a few days due to foot problems.
I simply cannot recommend these goofy-looking socks highly enough, particularly for anyone who is prone to itchiness, cracking, rashes or blistering on or in the toe area. These aid air-flow, wick well and prevent heat build-up and rubbing.
I gave this product 5 stars because I can't give 10 ; )

Great quality but NOT strictly suitable
This is a great little box and doesn't feel cheap at all. The plastic is strong and flexible enough to avoid cracking if crushed or dropped. It is hinged on one side, the other three sides having two snap catches.
Combined with it's o-ring seal these fastenings make this box strong and watertight.
Four 18650's (with flush terminals) fit almost perfectly with very little rattling as there is only about a millimeter or so of play.
Unfortunately, there is no separation or compartmenting (A legal requirement in the EU when storing, shipping or housing 18650's) ... which makes this 'battery travel box' illegal for sale as such in the EU... a potential liability for anyone who sells them for this purpose... and which may present the user with difficulties at airports.
Would I buy it for housing 18650's? Definitely! I alreadyhave two and wouldn't hesitate to buy more - But I damned sure wouldn't sell them to my customers, at least, not as battery storage boxes as I'd be inviting a costly civil claim should a battery decide to explode.
If you want a great box and are happy that these are not EU legal for purpose - then by all means, buy this box - particularly if you operate in sandy, dusty or wet environments. However, if you care about safety, EU legality or intend to resell then get the boxes with molded separators/cradles ... some of these are cheaper, but few will offer as much environmental protection.
Again, this is a great little box. I use them for storing 18650's on my yacht and when kayaking or just lazing about on the beach... the build quality is excellent and the environmental protection is unbeatable. It's just not an EU legal 'battery storage' box.
