>And of course, of significance to AMAT is that all of this state-of-the-art surplus equipment uses chips. Nah, I don't think it's good for anybody except the SWAP shop surplus guys. When you can buy 5 2500 series routers for 1000 bucks. Or when you can buy a 6000 series cisco router for a fraction of what you used to pay. When you can buy a FULL BLOWN HP server for a song. WHEN all the MBA's blew out their budgets because money was available and stocks were high and everybody was feeling wealthy. NO I DON'T think anybody really benefits from the Demise of CISCO and the stuffing the pipeline or whatever the hell happened. What the hell happens to all of this STATE of the ART BRAND NEW equipment. Does it just go away? Do we burn it? Come on. You guys are making me laugh.
