Hi Mindmeld, I've been buying too over this downturn.

RE: "Is anyone happy again yet? I sure am."

You are really the way I should be - happy with incremental 12.8% growth, but am demanding.

"Cisco sees three engines of growth. For starters, the company already gets 14% of sales from six fast-growing markets it targeted during the downturn, including Wi-Fi and security software. It's also banking on an upgrade cycle in its primary business of selling routers and switches, the large computers that direct the flow of data on the Net and corporate networks. The third leg of Chambers' growth plan: grabbing a large share of the telecom-gear market as the world's phone companies go from running separate networks for voice, data, and video to a single, more cost-effective network to handle all three. Chambers thinks Cisco can boost its share of the $64 billion telecom market from 3% now to at least 15%"

"And Cisco is building quickly on its Linksys acquisition. Charles H. Giancarlo, a senior vice-president responsible for Linksys, says Cisco plans to introduce a dozen more home gizmos over the next year. "Who knows?" he says. "Linksys might become a household name, while Cisco may only be for portfolio planners."

What's the status of Linksys in terms of devices as well as consumer brand recognition?
