to write off old inventory etc I haven't read it yet -- but I'd like to know how in hell they can write off MORE inventory after the hit they took a quarter ago. While they were heavily criticized for the writeoff in some circles, I thought, "well, they're just trying to get all the bad news out so we can see some good quarters going forward". But now, they're going to write off more. Strange. But I'm all for CSCO rallying. I'm in at 23 and would like to see a little comeback here pretty soon....
