Steve, At the end of July when most of the people that developed the product leave, who will be left to finish the box? From what I see, most of the good hw folks are heading across the street to Axiowave. Since Sw was an afterthought in this box, that move is cutting the guts out of the engineering team there. Maybe the NJ people could finish delivering the box. <g> You asked me to name names. that is not going to happen. you can find that data out on your own. You don't seem to be getting it. LU is absolutely terrible at integrating companies into the mix. The people that have been put in charge of the acquisitions don't have a clue. Why do you think that the Cascade switch is late already? It seems that Prominet and Agile are almost depleted, with the exception of those being paid huge retention bonuses to stay until 8/20. Xedia has started the slow bleed. Cascade has been crushed, with a new wave coming. My friends at Nexabit have told me that the couple of deals that were announced were throw-ins as part of bigger LU deals. That is not exactly a promising outlook for Nexabit. I also could not care less about your opinion. If you have any knowledge to refute my comments, post them. tp
