Admit it Chris, you miss your old 75.

At my former job, when we needed new routers and the 75's
couldn't keep up any more, we got the 7500 of the new century.
Cisco incremented the model number by a hundred and gave us
a box with the good old 7500 feeling.

It did everything you would expect from a 75 and then some.
