biased feeling against 3com

This is just my two cent's worth so don't take it as anything beyond that:

I will never recommend the purchase of any other 3com product to anyone ever
again.  Three weeks before they broke up the company and exited the high end
switch market (which they're back into it again) I purchased $600000 worth of
equipment from them.  Four months later our company traded all the core 
builders in for comparable cisco equipment.  3com's decision to do this 
basically changed my career because previous to that I had been a 3com based
network engineer deploying 3com routers, switches and remote access devices
where ever I worked.  This company has no customer loyalty and the support
is not very good.  Hell it was never very good even when I did advocate their
products.  *sigh* Only if I had started in with cisco products from day one
I might have had a better career...
