Re: OT: Switch up time...4 years!

Seems like Like Cisco Marketting Team can use this email chain to help
increase there sell and a feedback for Cisco Product Managers so that they
can yell on developers not to make so stable products.

Just Kidding..;)

Recently I finished a project in Texas where I saw almost all devices (150+
devices including 6500,4500 and others routers and switches) up and running
for more than 3 years.

Bravo Cisco !!!
