A small problem... all of my 7200s have horizontal line cards as do the
Juniper M5/7/10/20. The smaller 7100, 3700, 3600, 2600 also have
horizontal line cards too. So... here is a correction.

"From now on, we should make this a primary distinction between switch
and a router: If a device has vertical line cards, it is a router, if
horizontal, it is a switch, unless there are two or more vertical slots
within any horizontal slot plane, then it is, in fact, a router."
Excellent point, that also fixes the "problem" for riverstone 8x00 ;)
