From my SFE email: 

You chose to gamble with the quiz questions. You attempted 0 questions. Unfortunately, you didn’t win any money this time around.

The company I work for has a few network devices that they were pretty much scared into buying and are now maintaining at a fairly significant cost. I would be willing to bet that at least a couple aren’t doing a darn thing for us. Well, they do something, but I think we would have adequate bandwidth and protection without them.
