[TriLUG] OT - gigabit switches

[OlsonE at aosa.army.mil]

Well, if you end up buying from Cisco, they should let you "demo" one of
their products. Most sales people will bend over backward to get you
convinced. If they won't, I'm sure telling them you'll just go evaluate
someone else' product will get their attention.

Given that the sales literature will do it's best to camouflage this
fact, any suggestions how I would tell the difference?
