mindmeld,
<It cracks me up when I hear EEs proclaim their market savvy based on
<their technical knowledge.

never claimed anything, just thought your claim that
"Cisco (as opposed to MSFT) is a kinder, gentler company...and
MSFT helps no one except Bill Gates" was a bit out of wack. Do you think MSFT does not enter partnerships that help other companies grow
so that they sell more software? Oh, and I'm not convinced Cisco
is a kind, gentle company (otherwise, I might not be into the stock).

I'm making no company claims here (only thing I said was optical
networking yada yada yada, which I might add is being addressed by Cisco). In fact, I have a couple friends who
work for Cisco, and I know some of their products are far from superior, but I still own CSCO because I know they are a marketing
giant. Furthermore, if they feel
they are loosing market share to a smaller company with superior
tech, they'll just buy the company.
