Not bought, rather blagged.
OK, so I've blagged rather more switchage.
The previous Netgear switch was in the IT cupboard of discarded things.
The latest blaggage was from the in-use server room.
I rocked up at work today at lunchtime, the final day at this office as we are moving.
Everyone is downstairs in the kitchen eating sossidge rolls and sammitches and drinking boozahol, prior to being kicked out at 1pm to allow the removal dudes to get on with it.
But also, the IT dudes are getting on with it.
The dude is in the extra-double-triple locked server room, stripping it down.
I wander in casually, and get talking.
The Dell Poweredge 48 port gigabit PoE switches?
They're not on The List, so help yourself, mate.
And I did.
