I'm pretty sure that summary says something meaningful, but heck if I can figure out what it is.

No-one can tell you what TX Matrix is - you have to RTFA for yourself :)

Speaking of Cisco and Routers

[Chapium]

There's the Cisco packet game. The game that not only confused me about who it was being marketed toward. But also drove me nuts about its gig with Port au Prince and whatever the rest of the crap on it was. I'm no expert on Haiti, but I don't think stereotyping everyone living in Port au Prince as impoverished schmos who get their water from 5 hours away per day. The game's simply creepy. Peter Packet

Confused...

[kzinti]

Never known anybody who's even tried a Cisco router. I've been pretty happy with my DeWalt DW625 plunge router - 3 horsepower, electronic variable speed, soft start, and a nice rack-and-pinion depth adjuster. And what is this tera bit everybody is talking about? I've heard of straight bits, v-groove bits, mortising bits, rabbeting bits, cove bits, roundover bits, and tongue-and-groove sets of bits, but never a tera bit. Anybody care to give me the lowdown on this new woodworking equipment?

Re:Confused...

[JustOK]

The terra bit is fer digging holes in da ground. You can use it when you need a bigger pipe.

Re:Confused...

[dhovis]

Terra is the SI prefix for one trillion.

Terrabits refers to the number of router bits owned by Norm Abram.

Oh, whatever...

[dominion]

I don't know too much about high-end routers, so I'm just gonna say this:

Begun, the router war has.

Okay, that is all.

Re:Confused...Terror. not Tera

[CdBee]

You misread

It's the Terror Bit, a packet-data monster. You deploy it at the network perimeter, when hackers try to get in it sneaks up behind them and goes "Boo". Then it stabs them through the crotch with an ice-pick.

Re:Did anyone hear about procket networks ?

[dbleoslow]

I think you got that confused with the time Bill Gates bought Home Simpson's internet company, CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet(tm), and quickly ransacked his house.

In Korea, only old people use terabit routers
