I just find the whole idea of Cisco amusing, they still sell new
7500 series routers for 6 figures with the right configurations, and
they've been around for 10 years, in what other industry can you take a
product that is a decade old, hasn't advanced in technology, and still
sell them new for $100,000?
Although admittedly most sensible people buy them on ebay for a
grand these days.

Great...So Cisco is turning into the Nike of technology.
I can't wait to see 11 year olds building routers that sell for $1.5
million
USD, while getting paid 7 cents/hour.
