CISCO SYSTEMS INC (CSCO)
Quarterly Report (SEC form 10-Q)

The sales growth rate for lower-priced access and switching products targeted toward small and medium-sized
businesses has increased faster than that of the Company's high-end core router products. These products typically carry lower average
selling prices, and thus have slowed the Company's growth rate versus the first quarter of last year. Additionally, some of the Company's
more established product lines, such as the Cisco 2500 product family, have experienced decelerating growth rates. Sales to international
customers declined to 39.1% in the first quarter of 1998 versus 47.0% for the first quarter of 1997. The decrease reflects slower sales growth
in certain international markets, particularly Japan, Korea, France, Germany and Italy. Sales growth in these markets has been impacted by
certain factors including weaker economic conditions, delayed government spending, a stronger dollar versus the local currencies, and slower
adoption of networking technologies.

Hi Tulvio,

Long time. So, la morale della favola; you think CSCO is a good long investment?

His rationale was that the company's phone book was so large it had to be printed in two volumes, and that CSCO was still hiring.

They're still printing phone books? Doesn't that sound pretty primitive -- especially for a networking company who must have a zillion servers? Not only primitive, but expensive and always out of date.
