blank, >> we need someone who is a bull on coms, and you are usda grade A. was usrx worth 8 billion?<< I wonder what Eric B. would say, if he had to do it all over again? I know he didn't want to compete with CSCO, so he had to focus on different spaces. COMS was missing some of the elements...that's why he bought USRX. But in hindsight, he could've/should've bought for cheaper, or maybe picked up the extra technology in other places for cheaper. Who knows for sure? See my previous post also. Just to show you how "pointy" my horns are: IMO, a year from now, the USRX problems will be a minor glitch in COMS's plans. Some things will work out better than others. Maybe modems never sell (I doubt it), but maybe Palm Pilots pick up the slack.

All this talk about Eric B should be 'canned'. When COMS hits 35 (breaking through 32 1/2 resistance), lots of people who bad mouth Eric B. will be buying just because we acquired momentum...and will forget about Eric B. I find this hypocritical. If one doesn't think Eric B. can run this company...one should stay miles away from COMS. He's not going anywhere's soon, so how the heck is COMS going to improve if one has no faith in him. Maybe some people bought COMS thinking that it was a done deal that Eric B. was getting the boot. Pretty strange way to buy a stock if you ask me.
