My take is that fiber optics networking will still use Cisco's software, but it sure looks like Cisco needs some optical hardware that they don't have. They have to buy a company or contract with one.

I cannot believe that Chambers could miss this. But what the hell is going on with them? We, on this board, are certainly not that far ahead of the cutting edge to know something that Cisco did not know a year ago.

not a technology wiz.

This isn't my area of technical competency either, so I'm going to try to pose the question over on "chopped liver".

BTW, I'm nowhere near selling either.

Cha2, the fact that optical switches are a reality in no way threatens CSCO's IOS software. Software still is required to make the switching decisions and send the electronic signals to the photonic mirrors telling which way to point.

So if (when) CSCO buys an optical switch, it can marry that switch to its IOS.

Was that your notion?
