Overheard at Networking-Forum.com: Members discussing how the the smaller ASR 9000 box pictured has 
a "Fisher Price, my first router" look to it. Another reader commented that Cisco's gear has been resembling a kid's toy ever since the Nexus 7000 when Cisco started adding rounded corners to its boxes. Thank Cisco to be ever-viligant about our safety.
