Wasn't Cisco supposed to depricate "write mem?" I never learned those forms
of the commands because when I first started learning Cisco eight years ago,
Cisco said not to bother learning them because they were going away!

Then yesterday I discovered that my new PIX firewall wouldn't take "copy run
start?" Or was I making a typo or something? I had to reach into the back of
my mind and come up with "write mem" which I thought they were going to get
rid of. And I approved of that plan since it's totally non-intuitive. :-)

Speaking of non-intuitive, why DO we put up with the PIX? What a beast. It
took me all day to get it to do some simple forwarding. The thing is
expensive, slow, and almost impossible to configure. Why do we put up with
it? :-) Not being able to do "copy run start" took the cake.

Rantings from a frustrated Cisco fan.
