Need to be reminded again ?? When your company acquired that little switch company, you took that one down. When your company got acquired by NT, the big sucking sound was heard all over the Bay. How are your options doing ?? Red ??

So stockweenie, I'm listening to the radio three days ago and the station is doing this little thing to help the homeless. They ask folks that are on welfare to call in and the station is going to try to hook them up with a job. So this guy calls in - he lives in Santa Cruz - in a tent with his wife and his 15 year old son. Terrible I know. So the station asks him if he's tried to find work and he says yes, but that he's accustomed to making more that minimum wage. Even so, he is now willing (after a full year of living in a tent) to take any job he can. The DJ's asked him what he was doing before (a year ago) and he says he was an engineer at BAY!!! So there I am laughing my ass off - thinking of you of course (hey, that wasn't you was it). Apparently BAY's options and stock price are so pathetic that this guy (you?) is now living in a tent with his family. SHEESH! So, to add insult to injury the DJ's got this guy a job working at a McWhorters in Santa Cruz making minimum wage. So, as bad as you say Cisco engineers are - at least they still code... Looks like the BAY engineers have a little less to look forward to in the future. So, Stocksperm, please keep us posted on your job at McWhorters. I sincerely hope that it doesn't cut into your time on SI. OTFL.. HEE HEE... OG
