RESEARCH ALERT-Cisco revenue estimates cut Reuters Company News biz.yahoo.com CHICAGO, July 2 (Reuters) - Salomon Smith Barney on Tuesday said it cut its revenue estimates for network equipment makers Cisco Systems Inc. (NasdaqNM:CSCO) and Extreme Networks Inc. (NasdaqNM:EXTR), citing flattening business in June. Analyst Alex Henderson said in a research note that it looks like the industry has hit the "summer doldrums" early this year in June, a month that typically sees business accelerate due to seasonality. He said the soft business conditions in the United States would likely keep revenue growth at Cisco at the low end of the low-single-digit band and impede the San Jose, California-based company's ability to build a backlog in the July quarter. He added that if Cisco can't build a backlog in the seasonally July quarter, then visibility into the historically weaker October quarter is diminished. "In order to produce revenue growth despite the seasonally weak conditions, a head of steam needs to be built in the June/July quarter," Henderson said. He cut his estimated growth estimate for Cisco's revenues in its July quarter, or its fiscal fourth quarter, to 1 percent from a prior forecast of 3 percent growth. He also reduced his growth estimate for the October quarter to 1 percent from a 2-percent estimate. As a result, Henderson's new fiscal 2003 revenue estimate for Cisco is $20.8 billion, down from his previous estimate of $21.4 billion.

Bush was not that smart to begin with & he declined mentally during/after Harvard & Yale. My appraisal is mediocre intellect, low motivation and too much drugs/alcohol. The evidence for his mental incompetence is revealed when he opens his mouth and attempts to speak extemporaneously. An ongoing source of documentation is Jacob Weisberg's column "Bushisms" available free at Slate. slate.msn.com These have been compiled in a book available at amazon.com amazon.com As to how he got to his current state of incompentence, you might want to read "Is Our Children Learning? amazon.com The liner description: "He was a poor student who somehow got into the finest schools. He was a National Guardsman who somehow missed a year of service. He was a failed businessman who somehow was made rich. He was a minority investor who somehow was made managing partner of the Texas Rangers. He was a defeated politician who somehow was made governor. You can hardly blame him for expecting to inherit the White House. "Is Our Children Learning?" examines the public life and public record of George W. Bush and reveals him for who he is: a man who presents the thinnest, weakest, least impressive record in public life of any major party nominee this century; a man who at every critical juncture has been propelled upward by the forces of wealth, privilege, status, and special interests who use his family's name for their private gain. "Is Our Children Learning?" is a bit of a challenge because you have to look past the authors partisan and personal animosity to see at the facts. Obviously there was a lot more going on in the 2000 presidential election than who had the highest IQ. Don't forget that Reagan achieved a lot of his goals as president with a delegated decision-making model of management. Tom D
