Not at $150B. let's face it, that's what it would take to pull off a takeover....

Thanks, Trina. See my reply to Jeff.

You note, "BUT.... in this crazy market anything is possible. Who knows! IBM or maybe even LU may target and gulp up CSCO!!! This is highly speculative, indeed!"

Exactly what I was driving at. If an ATT can decide to spend tens of Billions to take several steps backwards in technology to advance a few steps forward hopefully in three or four years, then I suspect that IBM might be willing to take several steps forward to be even that much more ahead of the game, immediately...

I'm not suggesting that they are in the same markets necessarily, but one never knows...
