Pat, I worked with Mory when he was at Micom as a Director (perhaps VP later in his career there) when he left for Asnd. Asnd is his first CEO job..so he's learning from the school of hard knocks. Furthermore he was an engineering VP at Micom and did very little on the sales/marketing side of the house (see my previous post). Dave Misunas also worked at Micom at that time. He's got a good mind, but a charisma is not something either he or Mory have. On the other hand, Cisco has charisma coming out of every orifice. John Chambers, Don Listwin, Alex Mendez, John Morgridge, etc...these guys are exciting to listen to and know how to position the company relative to the technology they have. This has proved successful which is why Cisco has hit their numbers consistently. Again, I want to point out how important it is for all of us in this sector that Cisco continues to do this well. They are the premier company in the sector - looked at as the bellweather - and therefore their success is our success. Let's wish Cisco well. Gary
