Back in the day, when we were young and trusting, we bought one of the
first 3750s because we were told it would

 - do much faster routing than our trusted Cat5k RSM
 - do IPv6 (unlike the RSM)

well, it turned out that the only thing the 3750 *did* was "be fast" - 
but, no SVI counters, no netflow, and no IPv6 either.

When IPv6 finally came, years later, all we used that box for was 
"expensive layer 2 switch"...

But yeah, if you only look at the marketing material, a 3750 really
looks good.
