Hey Peter.  Guess what I'm doing this morning?  Xmodem recovery on a 
pair of switches that failed an upgrade with the archive command.  Woo 
hoo!  What a way to waste a morning.  I haven't done this in years.

Come on Cisco, at least give us removable flash if we can't get a rommon 
with IP support...  :-(
