Chambers is a bigger Clown than I thought.

LOL. You are funny. Just how big a clown did you previously think he was?

chic,

I think the difference is that consolidation in this industry is happening at a grander scale. If it was one acquisition over a 4 or 5 year period.. yeah sure... use the purchase method.. But we're talking 20-30 acqusitions a year. Pooling is the only way to bring about consolidation in the industry and speed innovation, change, compatibility, interoperability, etc...

John Chambers is probably worth close to, if not,a billion dollars or perhaps more.What's your net ? $1.87.Who's the hilarious one now?

Also he runs a billon dollar company,while you run nothing but your mouth.

If you weren't a functional illiterate you would understand that pooling is not "funny" accounting.

Now IBM, that's considered by some to be a high profile case of accounting gimmickry. It looks like some have taken note - seems the market has started to do so.

Reminds of a similar, moribund company, oh yes, it was Xerox.
