OT ... John, re "In the past 10 years, those 16,000 employees took away 18.923 Billion dollars, or a bit more than a million bucks per employee." Over and above regular salaries .. in a 7 year period. re "If so then Cisco's earnings after option expense would be 7,346 - 18,923 = (11,577)... deeply in the hole." Using the "Shannon/mindmeld true-up method". The FASB method puts the earnings at $3,584 (373 - 2705 + 1549 + 1487 + 1109 + 899 + 872). That's a $15,161 difference between the two methods -- 15 billion dollars different. It's no wonder that option debates can become as heated as religious wars. <gg> I wonder why mindmeld is a proponent of "options expense true-up" AND then also thinks Cisco is a great company. Regards, Ron
