Call me crazy, but I sold some csco the past 2 days, and bought coms today at 32.25. When I saw someone dumped 6 million shares around 32.5 and it barely budged, that's when I pulled the trigger. I don't think it's the falling knife like early last year (crossing my fingers). So, who's the single client that dumped by the bucket this morning. Could it be Mr. McCartney who just left 3Com? I hope so, and if I'm right things are not that bad because it accounts for 12 millions out of 25.8. I agree with you about Eric B. He needs to put his nose closer to the grinder instead of running around the country acting like a CTO. Good luck investing.

WW, I told Scrapps and someone else a very long time ago that cable modems aren't squat in terms of revenue stream to 3Com/USR. They are in large part an analog modem and NIC company, and both products have margins under severe market and competitor pressure. I'm so happy I've ignored 3Com for lo these many months since I realized that 3Com has a difficult time making any money, and had very large stuffed channel problems. Casey Cowell had the last laugh. He's probably still laughing as he lounges in his luxurious beach-side condo.
