I heard that they will be again increasing their manufacturing capabilities with additional floor space. Probably another weird building on top of that hill above Warrendale. Have you seen them? Looks like an earthquake hit 'em. Pictures here: fore.com And, I believe that I heard another 1000 people. Rr

great! here is the post Message 7059839 LU is willing to shell out 20B$ for ASND that has about 1.5B$ revenue. That is like 13 times the revenue and it is extremely expensive. CSCO paid only 8 times revenue for STRM. FORE is at 600m$ revenue. FORE is a big bargain now if it's based on takeover premium: approximate prices 4 times revenue => 23$ 6 times revenue => 32$ 8 times revenue => 46$ 10 times revenue => 54$ 13 times revenue => 70$ Microsoft is deploying FORE state of the art ASX4000 swicthes in its large and very high-performance campus network. More companies will follow including Internet Service Providers. ASX4000 has a long life in front and it is the only switch that supports OC48c. imo, FORE will be taken over this year for a price between 30$ and 50$.
