Gary,
non cisco question.. This is not a rhetorical question. What value will Fore bring to one of the growing breed of providers besides the berkely networks layer 3 switching and their one big switch? I had read a merrill lynch report on askmerrill.com that the atm business that is Fore is slowing from 40% growth to 19% this year and diminishing. The report singled out fore as perhaps entering periods of hard times, slowing growth, disappearing margins, etc. I owned XYLN for the potential of acquisition, have pair and afci for similar reasons, but have not seen the case for fore. Your information is much appreciated.

The speculation about ERICY buys FORE is interesting. The ERICY warns
the second time in a roll that they will not meet the expectation. If
the buyout is true, what kind of combination would be a loser + a
loser. In fact, ERICY is looking for buyer itsself. Hopefully, CSCO
can snap ERICY up at cheap. This will certainly give CSCO a leg in the
wireless world.
Cheers!

The key to investment is buying a good stock and held on for long
term, 5 to 10 years.
CSCO is a company will give you that handsome return on your
investment. The past 8 years history has suggested that.
Given that the whole data market sector growth at 20-30% annually from
this point on to the next decade. There is no reason to believe
investment on CSCO is not wise like someone routinely suggested on
this thread.
Cheers!

Mike,
That would be interesting. ERICY is a company that wants to be in data but can't cut it (except for the announced deal to resell Juniper's M40). They are a company so steeped in bureaucracy, I am not sure that I would even want to get involved if I am CSCO. Aside from China, Ericy is a slow moving, slow growth company. There would have to be massive divestitures, layoffs, and a transfer of control from Stockholm.
Regards,
Brian |

"Not late at all. The Quarter ends the end of April and earnings are
always announced about two weeks later. It has always been that way"
That's great. Look, they have 5/11 on their website, but I have owned at least a little for 6 years. They usually announce the first week after the q end. The last q which ended on 1/31, led to a 2/2 announcement. This is typical for them. Their efficiency is unusual.I know a lot of you are bs'ers but I am trying to figure why they have changed, and are acting like a regular company and need two weeks. If you don't know, don't respond. |

FORE is nigh overripe. If it gets any more ripe even the maggots like J will abandon home carcass. |

Cisco Looks To Enhance Web Productivity
Filed at 8:11 p.m. EST
By Amy Rogers for Computer Reseller News, CMPnet
Got a browser? Cisco Systems says it can make
you a more productive worker.
Cisco next week will announce a framework,
called Workforce Optimization solution, aimed at
giving customers the tools to help clients increase
employee productivity through deployment of
Web-based applications.
Steve Bernstein product manager for the new
solution, said Cisco has signed on Ernst & Young and KPMG to aid
Cisco's customers in implementing systems.
"We're not out to create a catalog of partners, but to focus on
[companies] that have the skills, and to bring them through our
knowledge-transfer program," Bernstein said.
Cisco will unveil Workforce Optimization solution on Tuesday by
discussing details of partnerships with vendors with various application
specialties and unveiling best practices culled from Cisco's own
experience and that of its customers and partners.
"We are the case study," said Steve Bernstein, product manager for the
solution, adding that Cisco has measured some $54 million in savings by
implementing applications that simplify employee purchasing, let
human-resources staff negotiate better deals with benefits providers, and
automate mundane back-office functions such as data entry.
Bernstein said the multi-million dollar savings came from reduced
expenses, cost savings and enhanced employee productivity.
Cisco is teaming with Ariba Technologies, whose flagship product
focuses on online procurement; Extensity, and its Web-based
expense-reporting software; Oblix and its LDAP-based corporate
directory; and PeopleSoft for itshuman-resources applications.
Cisco's own IP/TV application, streaming software acquired in its
purchase of Precept Software, also figures in the new solution. Cisco
announced a comparable solution for e-commerce earlier this year.

I understand that CSCO is looking at reporting 41% growth this quarter. Should make for some fun.
