First of all, the restricted cash should be taken out, as it is pledged elsewhere, primarily for real estate in North Carolina. That takes the Cash number to $19.84 billion. Outside of that, though, everything else is pretty clearly cash. The Cash and Cash Equivalents are investments with a maturity of 3 months or less, clearly cash. The other Investments, short term or not, are all publicly traded instruments, with the short term stuff basically debt maturing within 1 year. Once again, clearly cash. Note also that the private company investments, which some companies include at cost in the investment column, is included (at cost) in the Other Assets column for Cisco. So in the end, you really don't have to make much adjusting to the $19.84 billion cash number.
