No great rush, no.  It's just that paying three times the cost of the
switch for UPS ground shipping is stupidly wasteful, and the local
computer repair shop isn't interested in just selling us the switch,
they want to charge us probably a $60 minimum service fee to have their
"technician" (who probably wouldn't know what to do with anything but a
bog-standard PC) install it for us (probably breaking something else in
the process).
