mindmeld, re "If [edit: the FASB gets] their way, Cisco's EPS number will drop by half or more. That's significant. "

On a TTM basis, Cisco's GAAP EPS is $0.88 and SFAS 123 (after tax) option expense is $0.23. SFAS 123 expense will remain relatively constant, due to amortization.

For your "half" prediction to become true, Cisco's GAAP EPS would need to drop to $0.48 -- or less. Do you really believe Cisco's prospects are that bleak?
