Which is of no use for people who have to communicate with such sites.  It
seems to me that Cisco would have at least some ammount of will to try to
keep their customers current to keep them on maintenance, if not for other
reasons.  Guess it's too much to ask for a world where Cisco sends its
customers e-mail from a server that detects the bug and sicks the sales
reptiles on them.

Personally, I think that there's some culpability from the whole
"appliance" moniker.  Appliance my butt- it's a pre-configured computer.
I've yet to have to update code on my VCR, fridge or TV.  Hmmm- maybe it's
time for a long rant...
