This is pretty low Roger. Paying kids to push Cisco in the schoolyard =) Seriously though. I wanted a Sun server at home for years. Really liked the kit and wanted to be able to have one in my rack at home just to play with. By the time I managed to get one, I realised that it really wasn't worth it. All the things that I had wanted to learn on it I had managed to learn on Linux instead. All I really wanted it for was label bashing value, so I just went out bought some more Nike t-shirts instead. So if you want to play with some networking gear, then don't fixate on a single vendor, concentrate on the things that you want to learn. There will more often than not be a better/cheaper/faster way of doing it. While you wait for all the free cisco stuff to come flooding in, you could be already learning the same stuff on linux for example.

Also - my other purpose. I really like cisco stuff. Becasue they are such cool things - 'cause of how well they are constructed designed. And if nothing else - it would be cool to have a bunch of boxes with "Cisco Systems" tags on them :D.
