re: cookie jar accounting, this is what I am referring to:

LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Current liabilities:
Accounts payable $604 $ 594
Income taxes payable 848 739
Accrued compensation 1,432 1,470
Deferred revenue 3,420 3,034
Other accrued liabilities 1,899 2,162
Restructuring liabilities 71 295


Don't get me wrong, Cisco is the utmost in integrity. But they build up these reserves for a reason, thats all I'm saying. So there isn't much of a chance at actually missing a quarter badly barring a disaster like 00/01 which took all CEOs in tech by surprise.

I'm glad they hired 200 americans and I like the fact that when Chambers says he will hire 1000, he makes it clear that they are "mostly here".
