If the VSR card was $899k, the SR card was $999k and the LR card was $1099 you wouldn't hear any complaints from me. It's the fact that Cisco is reselling optics (which is not their core business as far as I see it) at a huge markup that is bothering me. But then again, if other people want to pay a huge premium that's their problem, I'm not buying it. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [email protected]
