    I'm pretty sure that summary says something meaningful, but heck if I can figure out what it is.
    Maybe some advertisement for juniper?

    and it's kinda like comparing the millions of compact sedans that everyone owns to the couple of hand built formula one cars. This article is about the formula one cars.

    I think the coolest thing to come out with these is going to be the GUI router and PIX config. You can see some screenshots of it in the presentation, its mind-boggling and worth drooling over.
    Over the last 12 years I have tried 5 Cisco GUI configuration tools (IIRC). Currently I use the command line, as does everyone I know with moderate-or-above Cisco experience.

    But this one will do the trick!

    Now, before we get started with any power tools, a brief word on shop safety...

    Good edit point! That's exactly where I turn off the TV, wait about fifteen seconds, then turn it back on. When my timing is good, I rejoin the program just in time to hear the hiss of the trailing 's' in "saftey glasses".

    The problem with Norm is he owns too many expensive, exotic tools. A band saw. A planer. A table saw the size of the Astrodome. Hell, he's even got a jig he can put on his electric screwdriver that will automatically build and finish an heirloom-quality china cabinet from scrap lumber. These tools are probably part of any "master carpenter's" workshop, but are definitely not part of mine.

    I'd like to see Norm do a show called "The New Working Stiff's Workshop" in which he makes quality projects using tools that cost a total of no more than (pick a number) $1000, with no one tool costing more than (pick a number) $300. You can't easily build many of Norm's current NYW projects without first winning the Lotto Jackpot to pay for the tools. True, you can probably make most or all of those projects by substituting other tools and lots of extra work for some of the exotic, expensive tools, but I'd like to see more projects designed to be made in the average Joe's workshop.
