To be honest, I did'nt remember--

Before the year ends we will see a profit warning from Cisco. ... You've been warned!

Remember?


So, I went back and found your message-

Message 7635554

and then reviewed the context in which you went on record.
The context seems to have been the article in the SJ Merc
about Cisco's "Virtual Close"--about Larry Carter, the Cisco
CFO, having complete control and up-to-date information wrt.
the financial state of the whole enterprise. This avoids the usual scurry surrounding the Q and FY closings.

Sorry I did'nt save nor post the article but I remember it well.

So, now I remember, as you asked me to do so. Your post to me is now bookmarked. You said, on 2/3/99--

Before the year ends we will see a profit warning from Cisco. These investments geared up to branch into the telecoms segment aren't going tp pay back just as the customers' premises boxes had (so far). You've been warned!

I don't think you are right, but time will tell. You have
just 10 more weeks for your prophecy to be valid. I'll send
you a note on 1/1/2000.
