<off-topic> Well, to be exact, the Chinese are generally superstitious of the number "4". That includes anything that has a "4" in it, e.g., 14, 24, 34, 44, e.t.c. Conversely, "8" is considered to be associated with good luck and fortune. I can't speak to other Asian nationals/cultures re: numbers. </off-topic> > similar to the western phobia of 13.

At least they are not naming it Cisco IOS 2010 or > some such. <more off-topic> Perhaps Cisco saw Juniper were gaining on them with their upcoming release of JUNOS 10. Knowing Juniper's release cycle, it wouldn't be long before JUNOS 12 became available (oh my, imagine JUNOS 12.2, JUNOS 12.3, JUNOS 12.4, JUNOS 12.5, e.t.c.). I guess IOS 15 keeps Cisco a couple of steps ahead :-). </more off-topic> Mark.
