Dan the internal switch would cost less than Berkeley Net acquisition, but it's questionable if it would have been better, and since I don't have the specs side by side, for the Berkeley Net switch it's hard to tell, besides it's now history anyway... What is true, Fore made a serious of strategic mistakes. This is the reason why it's in trouble right now, and will remain just a trading stock, and not a long term buy for serious investors.

But if the internal project would have been finished, some guys would not have made money out of the acquisition... Dan, As sarcastic as the comment may be, I too believe, or at least have my doubts, about the true purpose behind buying Berkeley and at the price they paid. It definitely wasn't the best time to do it. They should have waited one or more qtr(s) to show the street they can execute a really profitable qtr. I have to add, that Fore's timing for the last two years has been miserable. Is it all bad timing or somebody's been getting richer with the deals? I guess we can all speculate till we drop to find the real answers here.
