Well I won't argue with that about the wireless stuff, certainly!
It's taken me quite a few years to build up my home lab - the idea of
it all going obsolete before I can finish this process isn't one I
relish. Having voice kit which is no longer useful is sufficiently
annoying!
If they chucked in another switch though which required a significant
number of extra features over the 3550 then I suppose I'll be renting
rack time to handle that. I don't need any more tin at home,
regardless of the cost!
No matter - it's all interesting to me anyway - fortunately. I'm not
*only* driven by the CCIE exam even if that is a major goal.
