Congrats. 34 quarters in a row! It's got to be like ho-hum, another blowout quarter. ...maybe I can afford some with the 3 for 2. Mark

[Cisco] Actual net income for fiscal 1998 was $1,350 million or $1.26 per share for year ended July 25. Does this compare with ASND's projected $1.20/share earnings for y/e Dec 31? Or are the two numbers 'actual net income per share' and 'earnings per share' different measures? If the two measures are comparable, there's a great imbalance between Cisco and Ascend share prices, given the only 6 cent difference in 'earnings' and 5 month difference in fiscal year closing date. Am I misreading this?
