Shawn, Sounds to me like 3COM is trying to corner the 3COM Networking Cards market :-) Actually, it obvious, that if they were still trying to clear the inventory, they wouldn't be buying more of their own products to make inventory bigger. My guess, is that since it's clear they no longer have an inventory problem, the next step is for them to have as big a market share as possible - and that seems very likely if they plan things well. So, possibly, they buy back their older stuff, and upgrade it to the new v.90 and eventually charge a premium to customers since there's nothing else left to buy. Is this just me thinking weird on a late firday night, or can this possibly be true??? j
