I'd like to know more about the amortization and the purchased in-process R&D numbers before pasting CSCO, though. These are from acquisitions, but how much did those acquired companies add to the revenue numbers to counter the effect of these huge additions to the expense side? Note that CSCO's gross margin improved over 1999; that ain't all bad. And if you discount the effect of the am and purchased R&D write-off, things look a whole bunch better!

Are the two expense numbers mentioned above one-time write-offs? I haven't followed CSCO at all (never owned it), so I don't know the answer, but maybe someone else knows off the top of their head.

Cheers
