On a related note, those interested in NOC display technology may also want
to check out the recent Wall Street Journal article (sorry, I don't have a
link) that suggests that we are about to see a huge drop in large LCD/Plasma
display pricing as several new factories are coming on-line.

I'm not sure if that changes the way we'll build NOCs - projectors have been
popular, but I'm not sure if that's only due to cost advantage.

(I'd like to say that I don't feel a thread on NOCs is particularly
off-topic. While I can't configure LCD projectors on an IOS command line,
I've sure configured IOS command lines on LCD projectors - reasonable
display technology can be the difference between a useless "Show NOC" and a
technically useful operations center)
