Amazing how many do not know or recall that EB saved 3Com from almost certain bankruptcy in the very early 1990s.

Rick: No offense taken. Actually EB did a great job at 3Com after he first took over, it's just that the USRX fiasco was on his watch, and it's taken three years to begin repairing the damage, both with shareholders and the street. As a shareholder, I'm more than satisfied with what 3Com has done for us since last September, and I also acknowledge that they did the PALM spin-off about as soon as they could after the USRX takeover. I still think it'll take a few Q's of delivering financial results before the street gets on board and cuts EB any slack. JMO. David T.
