<<<If the analysts understood the business then we could get good numbers.
3Com is close to finishing the digestion of USRobotics. They appear to have met that goal this quarter. They should do better the next few quarters, especially with the new standards being finally hashed out.
If anyone expected them to turn around in a quarter then they should not invest in this stock! COMS took the medicine and is in the process of coming back to health.
I am still long and not worried here.>>>

Eric,

I couldn't agree with you more. Only an idiot would assume the 3Com/USR merger would be ironed out in a quarter, let alone a YEAR. We are talking about a 7 billion dollar merger....it takes time. As far as I am concerned, management is doing a great job so far.

Long USRobotics before the merger, Long 3COM after the merger.
