The CK Daily – The Adventures of Online Shopping
Happy Friday, folks! I hope you’re all gearing up for a great weekend. We did some Christmas shopping over the last few days, as I’m sure most of you all did too. 🎄🎁
While doing all my shopping (from the comfort of my couch in my pj’s 😀), I was making purchases from stores I had not purchased from before. I had a couple of questions running through my mind:
When will I receive the product? And will there be any unexpected shipping charges waiting for me at checkout?
Being the conscientious shopper that I am, I naturally turned to our trusty friend Google for answers. It got me thinking—what questions do you consider when purchasing from a new site for the first time? And where do you go to get your questions answered? Google? Facebook? Send up smoke signals?
Have a great weekend!
Chris

Learning Center Article – What is the difference between Cisco core switches and access switches?
When you’re designing a large network, you’re going to need multiple different switches, and in many cases, those switches won’t serve the same role. As the demand on a network rises, you can’t just add more switches ad hoc. Instead, you need to layer your switches correctly.
