Found out many years ago that they are expensive. Bring back memories? OT YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN MONTYS HABITAT WHEN... 1. The Halloween pumpkin on your porch has more teeth than your spouse. 2. You let your twelve-year-old daughter smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids. 3. You've been married three times and still have the same in-laws. 4. You think a woman who is "out of your league" bowls on a different night. 5. Jack Daniel's makes your list of "most admired people." 6. You wonder how service stations keep their restrooms so clean. 7. Anyone in your family ever died right after saying, "Hey watch this." 8. You think Dom Perignon is a Mafia leader. 9. Your wife's hairdo was once ruined by a ceiling fan. 10. Your junior prom had a day care facility. 11. You think the last words of the Star Spangled Banner are, "Gentlemen start your engines." 12. You lit a match in the bathroom and your house exploded right off its wheels. 13. The bluebook value of your truck goes up and down, depending on how much gas is in it. 14. You have to go outside to get something from the fridge. 15. One of your kids was born on a pool table. 16. You need one more hole punched in your card to get a freebie at the House of Tattoos. 17. You can't get married to your sweetheart because there's a law against it. 18. You think loading a dishwasher means getting your wife drunk. 19. Your toilet paper has page numbers on it. 20. Your front porch collapses and kills more than five dogs.

Cisco sales growth seen rising By Bloomberg News November 3, 2000, 12:55 p.m. PT Networking giant Cisco Systems is expected Monday to report that fiscal first-quarter sales rose 61 percent, the 11th straight quarter of faster revenue growth. Whether Cisco will be able to keep the streak going after that is a big question that investors hope will be answered on the company's conference call. Profit excluding acquisition-related and stock-option costs and investment gains rose to 17 cents a share from 11 cents, based on the average forecast of analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial. Cisco shares, considered a technology bellwether, are on track for their worst-ever annual performance. Investors became more skittish last week when rival Nortel Networks' third-quarter sales fell short of forecasts, sparking fears of a slowdown for communications-equipment makers. Nortel shares plunged 29 percent last Wednesday after it disclosed results. "Investors are on edge with Cisco," said Bruce Bartlett, a portfolio manager at OppenheimerFunds, which held 19.7 million Cisco shares as of June 30. "Every quarter now is kind of expected to have a higher probability that it's the quarter that shows the company is slowing down." Although Bartlett said he doesn't think Cisco's first-quarter sales growth will slow, he said he believes Cisco's revenue and profit outlook "will have both positive elements to it and some cautionary elements to it." Cisco shares are up 4.1 percent this year. The previous worst annual performance for the stock was 1994, when the shares climbed 8.7 percent. The shares more than doubled in 1998 and 1999. The company will disclose results after the market closes on Monday and will hold a conference call at 4:45 p.m. New York time.
