"In any case - why are people worried about a possible takeover of Stupid Name Company. 3COM"

And probably Intel's stock price would instantly fall so low as to give Tom Kurlak permanent guru status.

Mary - Re: " Will the 49ers play the NFC Championship game in Intel Park?"

I hope the Niner's play the NFC game at 3COM park.

Intel is a good company but turning around a huge 3COM is not a slam dunk.

I hope Intel doesn't even attempt it.

Mary RE:<<In any case - why are people worried about a possible takeover of Stupid
Name Company. 3COM has never been known for great management. Routers,
modems, are a natural extension of the microprocessor. >>

Routers and modems ar pure commodities. Intel could develop their own if they decided they needed them at a fraction of the cost of COMS. And Intel has already tried th modem business, only to discard it as a money losing albatross. It would be hubris on the highest order if they tried to purchase COMS, and the markets would not take to it kindly.
