rudedog: Thanks for the backup. Exactly what I would have posted. Interesting to see that according to WSJ on cnbc this AM (Alan Murray), CSCO (owns 62% of there market or if narrowly defined as per JPJ maybe 110%)is now giving monopoly sensitivity courses to its employees. They are being taught what words to avoid and how not to make the same errors in rhetoric that MSFT folks made in their past conversations with customers and within the confines of CSCO. To me this is chilling. I guess we all better get in tight with our local commissar. JFD
