Yeah Cisco equipment is like a stock that only goes down. After I pass my
lab, I'm selling all my puppies and Mr. Credit Card Company ain't going
to be collecting any more interest off of me!
Aside from the $, I'm not the kind of person that likes keeping stuff
around that isn't doing anything (explains why my ex is my ex). And yeah,
a Catalyst 3550 for my little LAN is overkill.
