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!
