For the router geeks among us.

[This won’t mean much to anyone who isn’t familiar with Cisco routers — the devices with which I’ve been earning my living for almost 14 years.]
Here’s something you don’t see much anymore:
[hostname] uptime is 6 years, 22 weeks, 6 days, 2 hours, 53 minutes
To add somewhat to the degree of difficulty:
System returned to ROM by processor memory parity error at PC 0x602C1EAC, address 0x0
The box in question is a 4500 running 12.1(12).
Yeah… I was stunned. That beats the AGS I once saw with a 5+ year uptime.
A classic! The original Cisco 4500 (the router, not the Catalyst 4500 line years later) was quite a bit ahead of its time! The first RISC-based Cisco Router offering, it, and its successor the 4700, could have, and should have, sold in much larger quantities. The 3600 and 7200 families eventually took its place.
