Not to pick on the Democrats unduly - they just went first in terms of
giving us crummy cabling as a metaphor for crummy government;
inshallah the Republicans will give us something as good or better

I got to go to one Interop; way back in Atlanta when Cabletron and
whomever else turned into Bay Networks were still separate companies. It
seemed pretty clean to me; which one was that?

Cabletron != baynetworks, that was Wellfleet and Synoptics that merged
to become Bay, that became Nortel.....

Or you may be thinking of the mergers, etc..., with Cabletron,
Riverstone, and Yago and then all that into Lucent.
