CharlesT: Agree. This creates an opportunity for the buyers to jump in and buy it cheap. As I mentioned on the SI thread, US Robotic write-off hurt this quarter. Really, the bottom line is they did beat expectations. I was hoping for 3COM to delay some of the write-offs this quarter in order to get the stock price on an upward trend. Note: A hidden agenda???? Yes, (my opinion) I believe this was a planned stradegy to get the price down to repurchased stock first, and second, to instill interest again with interested buyers before the price increases. Finally, with the Asian economies heating up, this could be the lowest the stock will get. Too much value in 3COM to let it go to someone else, especially with their New technologies and Palm products. later... Al
