[TriLUG] OT - gigabit switches

[Greg Brown]

I just like them for simplicity sake.  One big chassis, DC power, redudant
supervisor engines.   Granted the needs where I work are larger then most
but it's nice to have just a a few devices vs. 1000 stackables.   But we
certainly have our share of stackables too.

They are all good.
