The lower case letter 't' was briefly removed from the home page of Cisco's website on Thursday morning.

The Sesame Street-style caper failed to affect capital letter Ts. Numerous Reg readers were quick to tell us of the curious case of the missing letter on Thursday morning.

Several theories (http://www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2008/09/25/cisco-website-where-have-the-ts-gone) emerged, including the possibility of a search-and-replace snafu by an under-caffeinated Cisco developer, coding problems or hostile actions, before Cisco fixed the problem less than an hour after it first appeared.

A spokesman for the UK arm of the rouer and swich firm wasn't immediately able to shed light on the curious snafu, but promised to look into the issue for us. ®
