Gary: More info on financing that I grabbed from the CC (I reported this to my investment club who had similar concerns): - Cisco has done about $2 billion in vendor financing, which is a combination of leases and structured loans. - 7% of 3rd quarter revenue was from both Cisco and 3rd party financing - 5% of 3rd quarter revenue was from Cisco financing alone - 90% of the 5% is financing to large enterprise customers (ie Fortune 100/500 companies, most likely) and top-tier service providers (i.e. AT&T, Sprint, MCI Worldcom, etc.) - The other 10% of the financing was to more risky companies - Cisco has a historical loss rate on their financing of less than 1% (of course, the dot-coms don't have a problem paying right now) Justin
