Back then, ALL the manuals were printed. None of this funky
CDROM or download the page from the Cisco web site when your cisco
router isn't routing and you can't get to the cisco web site.
And my favorite. You didn't have to pass a test to buy stuff

Cisco was competing against Proteon, and the Cisco sales person
was happy to sell me one.
