<<I have one more cure for 3COMS dismal performance...: firing CFO>>

1 cure is not enough for 3ILLS. I have 2 more cures:

a. competitor is trying to put NIC functionalities into main processor. Cure: put a Pentium on each 3ILLS NIC.

b. competitors are putting modems right on motherboard. Cure: put a motherboard onto each Robotics modem.

I'm afraid I don't understand. You're suggesting that 3Com's CFO "cook the books" and go against the FASB's strict accounting rules to shift revenue around from month to month in a way that would materially affect the earnings?!!!

Nat Nithi: This CFO has no clue as to how to manage their financial model. They know that this quarter is going to weak they should withheld some earnings to smooth out these up-down cycles.
