Yes, you're quite right David; that area can get very subjective....in fact, in a C-Corp, the IRS can (and do) try to place limits on what a corporate officer can take as total compensation....you probably know what I'm talking about..it has to do with avoiding double taxation. I should state right here though, that I'm not a corporate income tax preparer...I have enough to do in the areas I'm qualified in. DK

All the bulls in one china shop: McNamee: The people who are building the Internet have a gigantic business opportunity. The obvious leader is Cisco Systems, which is the dominant player in networking. Sun Microsystems is down a ton. I'm sorry, but this company is not going out of business. The stock is unbelievably cheap. You cannot build the Internet without Sun servers. 3Com is another stock that's down a ton. They're having a lot of inventory issues this quarter and people are terrified, but they are No. 2 in networking. They're not going away. We're huge fans of PMC-Sierra, which dominates a number of markets for the chips that you use to build networking devices. A recent IPO called Mmc Networks, which makes a different kind of networking chip. Some people are now saying the run is over for Cisco and 3Com. Meeker: That's what they've been saying for years. So this is really just the pause that refreshes? McNamee: I would suggest that every time you hear somebody tell you that Cisco Systems isn't going to grow anymore, you ought to buy the stock. The same way you should add on Intel. Customers don't want to deal with ten different vendors. These are industries where customers want somebody to set a standard, and they will reward that company disproportionately. Meeker: If you believe in the growth in the Internet, you have to own Cisco.
