... There certainly is no hint or whiff of problems there that I have seen. CSCO results have been too strong over the past two quarters, and accelerating! to let that sort of thing affect any decisions ...

One thing that bothers me about last Q results -- 40% of earnings came from non-core business as in "earnings from other investments". This unusually large percentage, from about 10% or so in prior Q's is, to me, cause for alarm. How do you (or anyone) rationalize CSCO's dependency on 40% earnings from non-core business to continue beating earnings estimates by a penny?
