This is ridiculously off-topic, but the original wording as Cato used in 
his speeches is long lost.

The primary reference for this phrase comes from Plutarch who wrote in one 
of his Lives: "...και η Καρχηδόνα πρέπει να καταστραφεί" ("...and it is 
fitting that Carthage be destroyed").  The Latin "delenda est carthago" is 
usually used, but "carthago delenda est" is occasionally quoted and means 
the same thing - latin is pretty insensitive about the location of words, 
and it unambiguously means the same thing.

Anyway, the point of all this is that Linksys need to realise that not 
everyone has internet explorer on their computer, and depending on its 
presence to be able to configure your switch is something which pegs my 
suck-o-meter.
