To say that a great deal has happened in the world of high tech since Packet was first introduced in 1988 would be something of an understatement. We've seen the birth and explosive growth of the World Wide Web, the pervasive use of cellular and mobile communications, the convergence of voice, video and data, and all the commensurate innovation in networking technologies. Cisco has often led the way, evolving with the times and embracing the latest advances in areas such as optical, network security, content networking, wireless, voice over IP, storage-area networks, video and IPTV, to name just a few.

As Cisco has changed, so too has its customer base. Once consisting of predominantly enterprise network personnel, today's Cisco customers are as diverse as their information needs: service providers and small to midsized businesses, broader IT teams such as voice, security, and applications personnel, IT directors and CIOs, and the business decision makers of countless vertical markets around the globe.

As such, the company's Website, Cisco.com, has grown and continues to evolve to meet these diverse information needs. The networking technology enthusiasts that make up the Packet readership have a wealth of avenues on Cisco.com in which to delve for useful information to help them in their careers. May I suggest the following Web resources:

• Networking Professionals Connection
• Cisco IT@Work
• Blogs@Cisco
• Networkers Online
• The Internet Protocol Journal
• Cisco Technical Support Newsletter
• Technical Support and Documentation
• Learning and Events
• Google Groups: comp.dcom.sys.cisco
• Cisco Learning Connection
• Cisco Certifications Community
