If only Drif were here

Colourful ad in today's Independent. "New York, Paris, Brighton. Powered by Cisco."

It's a picture of a pleasing old secondhand bookshop (bit tidier than most of the ones I frequent, but hey). "Rare Books", it says on the window. And in the blurb:

"A local bookstore is looking to find new customers. Around the corner or around the world. With a Cisco core networking solution, they can securely link purchase order systems and inventory. And leverage growth opportunities."

It's not exactly Bernard and Manny, is it?

Of course, what every secondhand bookshop actually does is sign up for abebooks.com. Much cheaper than a core networking solution.... whatever that may be.
