Well, but in 2004, that was the price of a 48 port switch, because the
tech was new and expensive.
In 2016, an manageable 48 port switch costs "well below 1000" from
everyone else, so while the *list* price in your example is about the
same, real prices for that sort of tech has gone way down.
Compare a 7200 of 15 years ago with an ASR9001 of today for list price
insanity.
