During last week’s Macworld Expo I ran into Dave Provine in the Speaker’s Lounge and he and I sat there amidst a whirlwind of high technology, talking about old cars. It was an enjoyable retreat from the hectic week of emerging technology. Dave drives an old Triumph Spitfire, and we traded stories about roadside repairs and driving adventures. Afterwards he sent me some photos via email, including the one above, which melded the two themes of automobile repair and networking technology quite well. 😉

Dave says that is a Lucent switch acting as a jackstand. Best use for a Lucent switch I’ve seen to date!

Anyone have four Cisco 6509s handy? I’ve got to do some work on my exhaust.

  1. I had some old Asante monster hubs (remember the 2072?) that would be perfect for similar duty as well as for small boat anchors.
