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."
