<< There you are! Been wondering where you were >> I don't read this thread anymore. 200 posts per day is too much stuff to wade through. << Regarding your comment about ASND relative to COMS, remember ASND had their turn in the box last summer. I suspect it's simply COMS's turn these past two quarters >> Not so fast. COMS has been a dog for over a year. They haven't made a quarter in over a year. Their last two Q's have been 4 cents and 2 cents. The quarter before that they cheated and the SEC made them adjust their accounting. They made the quarter before that after estimates were reduced (because of the prior Q warning) and their DSO's went up because they stuffed the channel. The quarter before that they had that warning about INTC and NIC's that took them down to 24. Zero for the last 5 quarters in my book! A$ND was never even close to that bad. Forget COMS, A$ND is the #2 networker now.

<<There you are! Been wondering where you were. Regarding your comment about ASND relative to COMS, remember ASND had their turn in the box last summer.

I'm not sure, but wasn't last quarter $0.07? If so that is $0.09 versus $0.44 for the last two quarters. Why is COMS higher than ASND?
