Gary, RE: Perhaps then you can suggest where the shares come from to fund the acquistions on page 51

Sure I can. They were printed.

They won't show up in the year to year change, however, because all prior periods are restated in the case of these material acquisitions.

Look at the paragraph above the chart that you cut-and-pasted, primarily this sentence:

All historical information has been restated to reflect these acquisitions.

Gary, please. Cisco prints shares by the bucketfull. It is part of their corporate strategy. Nothing nefarious about it, granted, but it still is a highly significant factor, a factor that comes at the expense of shareholders.
