Don't you think these are major cuts? '98 down to $1.74(from $2.29) and this Q down to $0.09

With the latest spate of EPS estimate cuts, there isn't even a negative effect on the stock price...

Personally, I think the new 3Com switch products have a lot of potential. This kind of thing isn't reflected in EPS estimates.
