Cisco's CRS-3 router made a bit of a splash when it was announced on March 9, but the power of this new device hasn't yet sunk in.

In 2000, when news spread that Barry had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, more than 50 young writers staged a banquet to honor him. They came from Montana and New York and Florida to be with the author of Airships and High Lonesome for one evening and let him know how much he meant to them...
