My Cisco Bookmarks

I've assembled quite a collection of browser bookmarks over the years. My Cisco.com links form the bulk of those links. I thought it would be good to share these bookmarks. There are many pages you are just not going to find on your own, even with Cisco.com's new search tool.

I've cleaned them up too; removing obsolete entries, organizing better, and deleting all porn links....err....deleting all links dead links. ;-)

Have fun!

That's quite a great list that you have compiled. It would be pretty sweet if you could either post a zip file of your favorites (for IE) or the bookmarks.html file (for Firefox/Mozilla) for all of the sites that you listed. It would be a big time saver for those of us who would like to add them into our favorites.
