Just finished listening in to the Cisco conference call.

Very upbeat, more so than the previous few quarters. Sales up 22% year over year. And this is in Cisco's traditionally (seasonally) weakest quarter.

Commodity pricing pressures barely a blip: Might affect gross margins by ~0.5% in the next quarter. Gross margin for this quarter was 68.8%!

Also mentioned twice was the "continuing foreign exchange impact".

Q4 guidance up 3-5% from Q3. Of course with the caveat of world GDP growth. <g>

Consistent, but not spectacular, very Cisco-like results. At the very least, this should have a calming effect on the markets tomorrow.

Peter, taking a break from the train-wreck doom and gloom <g>
