HK, "Remember when 3com and Robotics got married" I wasn't that involved in the stock market back then. I remember from fall/winter of '96 until jan/feb of '97, everything seemed incredibly expensive....probably because I use to read Barron's too much<gg>. So, the analysts were saying $120/sh, aye? What did you think back then? What was Eric B. saying? And the boards around here? Just started reading a good book: Layer 3 Switching A Guide for IT Professionals by Jim Metzler and Lynn DeNoia you can look it up in phptr.com (Prentice Hall) The potential of Layer 3 Switching is incredible. Transmission speeds up to 10X as fast at one-tenth the cost of current systems. It looks like the Corebuilder and Layer 3 Switching are being very well received by the user community. The difficult part is that if a user has an old system, they have to tear out the legacy system entirely. But, it's worth it in the long run. AND, more importanly, there will be a lot of new users to create the user base initially as it builds up credibility and a "must-have" reputation. joe
