We bought a 3750G-24TS with EMI license "because it will run IPv6 (real
soon now!!!)" some two years ago.  For $lots of money.

As of today, we're using it as a expensive L2 switch, because it can't 
do the things it was bought for (IPv6).  Now that IPv6 is shipping, we're
told that we need to invest yet *another* US$ 3K to get a feature upgrade
(besides the cost for the IOS upgrade).

Thanks very much, Cisco.  

This is exactly why I really hope that some other switch vendor will 
get their act together and we can stop buying Cisco switches.
