   I didn't mean to offend you.  I've blown my spending money for this 
month (heck, for most of 2003) and I'm sick of running separate Cat5 
cables through the ceiling into the computer room to plug into the 
Catalyst 5000.

   *sigh*

   No, I just want to plug three machines into a hub in one side of my 
office.

   That said, a switch would be fine, though it's overkill for this 
application.  I already have what amounts to the mother of all switches 
in the computer room (the aforementioned Catalyst 5000, brag brag) and 
I simply don't need to separate the collision domains in this room.
