Can someone explain why a school would want to pay $1900@ for 25 48-port 10/100/1000 switches with PoE capability for a possible future need versus $500-600 for a plain 48-port 10/100/1000 switch? No one that I can find has a reason except maybe it would be needed in 5 years......... Second question, replacing 48 24-port 10/100 switches with the above 48-port ones, can anyone explain why it should cost almost $50,000? I cannot imagine how it would take even 2 days to do, let alone any tests that would be so elaborate and/or expensive. [My geek son and a few of his friends thought it would take them a day at $100@ plus lunch and extra Diet Dr Pepper] Thanks! Walter
