for their purpose, 3750e are being used. we are using 2960s but at the access layer
(slowly getting rid of 2950 and pre-S 2960 edge switches).  2960S is quite limited
really - only 4 can be members of the stack, the stack is only 10G, the
interfacing options are weaker and they dont have the suite of security features
that the 3750E/3750X offer...hence why we're 3750e/X at the distribution.
...we are also quite eager for the latest IOS for the 2960S as they have plenty of
issues that need ironing out  ;-)
