	My mentality is to not reward bad behaviour.  Buying a 7600
is "rewarding" the business unit that brought you this mess.  The
internal politics involved in this are quite interesting and amusing.

	Personally, I would insure that you do your own due-dilligence on
this.  It's gotten very messy and I wouldn't be shocked if people don't
start to treat these two groups that have so much shared as radioactive
as a result.  The timing of the Mx-960 makes this an interesting time to
work on buying an 'ethernet' device if you're getting something new.
