Two paragraphs of mine, two different points. I 'grew up'
finding one limitation after the other with Cisco (sorry),
so I was wondering what other implications were ahead of us.
3508 are the best example, but I can cite you others easily,
even with recent architectures.

But then, putting a 10G link on a box with some copper crap
(sorry again) is utterly beyond understanding to me. I could
add a 12 SFP one to the stack, I know. I can throw money in
to fix everything, I just don't want to, but they want it?

While I see your point clearly, I meant my two to be seperate,
adding to the total mess or so. Excuse me for not being more
clear.
